You need to find out if they actually have voided his claim or if they are denying liability - big difference. Regardless of if he admitted fault at the scene or not it's up to the insurance company to determine the lability - they are the experts.. Not the customers.

Should have been insured no matter what your age is.. Massive risk if your not..

yup and im still kicking myself over that, though i was with nrma before but they refused anything after the other driver ran me off the road and kept going which was alot cheaper at $640 for the new bumper and $200 panel beat and repaint guard and $150 wheel alignment, once again another f'n 4WD with a bull bar that has never seen a dirt patch

i was driving south on gibson avenue around 3:20pm on 17/9/2010 sunny dry

estimated about 3-4 missisipies behind a white transit van, the van turned left into gow st, i was at 50km/h (60 zone) right foot hovering over the accelerator, subaru forester heading west, attempted to turn right out of gow st we both hit breaks and met in the middle

my front passenger side met his drivers side guard just before his front tyre. my skid marks were faint and estimated about a metre long, lots of glass and fibre glass dust left on road

exchanged number plates, license info, mobile numbers, he asked me to get a quote and call him, called him friday night, saturday arvo no reply, got legal advice, made police report, done the other things the legal guy said i should do and yeah now the waiting game

holy shit i drive down there all the time; yeah, i can see how people would come out of gow street like that; it's a prick of a corner there especially with a van blocking vision. plus it seems everyone around there pulls out at the slightest gap :D

location in case anyone is curious (all 0 of you)

So basically, what you are saying is that you were traveling straight along gibson and the other car has turned right onto gibson from gow street across on coming traffic (ie. you)?

If this is the case then he is liable for the accident if he is insured the insurance company can't deny liability unless they have declined the claim for the insured due to underwriting guidelines.

an update,

the insurance companies assesor came out, and said (not in exact words as he answered like a politician)

that as an independant assesor has given his opinion on the value of the car, he will look at the market value of the car with them modifications and his superiors will decide on either to give me a payment to repair the car, or payment for the market value.

as i dont want to have the car writen off he has noted that i have refused an extra $300 in the salvage value which means i keep the car regardless of the pay out, which if it should be a "financial write off" they will advise me to report the car as a write off but cant enforce it and i can choose to fix it or cancel the rego and wreck it myself.

end result ill keep the car and with in the next 48 hours ill know exactly how much the assesor says i would be owed for the car/repairs

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
