As title, some c#nthead backed into my car, cracking the fibreglass front bar and cracking the paint etc.

No note from the culprit of course, but a nice lady saw it all and wrote me a note on my car containing the douche's rego plate only. Not being a car enthusiast, she couldn't tell make/model.

I have already lodged an incident with the police and they will do what they can though i don't have too much confidence in it getting anywhere but fingers crossed.

There's no point going through insurance as the excess will pretty much pay for the repair.

Any ideas?

Fecking ghey, my car has a banana bar on it too (which i love and there's only about 15 or so in the world/all in oz).

Damn that sucks man.

Quick question, what does a Banana front bar look like? Never heard of that :blink:

I know..i've had so much sh!t happen to me lately i'm surprised /wrist hasn't come across my mind yet bah, lol.

The bar is a very smooth, lightweight design with perfect fit.

This pic shows it off quite nicely

mate thats all u need, a rego number. if u are with just cars and your car gets hit while parked, it doesnt affect a thing. u dont have to pay excess, doesnt affect your rating - nothin. i done it 3 times. did u get the ladies phone number ? the insurance company may want to call her.

^^^ Agreed!

The most critical info you should have is the lady's name/addy/ph + the rego# of the offending car (ie her note).

Then the person who backed into you hasn't got a leg to stand on.

There should be more people like that lady/witness. :blink:

What everyone's saying is correct

You should be able to give your insurer the rego of the car, the details of your witness, so they can contact her, get them to do it quickly, so the details are fresh in her mind. She doesn't need to be an expert, the rego & colour of the car should be sufficient.

It won't be considered an "at fault" claim, because clearly, you weren't at fault...

And for gawd's sake, if you see someone plowing into other cars, dob the arseholes in! :blink:

I've waited around to give details to people whose cars have been hit in the past, and when my car was reversed into by a 4WD, causing $4000 in damage, I had a solicitor & 2 doctors as witnesses!

Karma FTW!

very sorry to hijack your thread mate, but i have a small question.

if you were inside your car while the engine was running yet stationary/motionless, for example waiting for the car infront to move. however the car infront decides to reverse into the front of me, causing minmal damage to the bumper/fmic/headlight.

would this be classed as the same situation you guys are talking about?

thanks.

Probably a little different, in that I believe his car was parked, and he was nowhere near it.

Did you have a witness to this/ admission from the driver? I'd imagine that without a witness, this is going to be VERY hard to prove, especially if the other party claims you drove into the back of them...

Hope it works out ok for both of you.

Thanks for the advice all! I will try my luck and see.

Yep Mavric had a contact that makes them but they're not available anymore. It was a fair few years ago..

Edit - i should state Mavric was the original supplier of the bars and they were sold in very limited numbers. I love exclusivity :blink: (oh wait, i drive an r33 ..)

iu had a lady drive in to me in a car park while i was in the car stationary, about a month ago. i literally picked it up from the spray shop 10 mins earlier, the car was finished, complete, done, then BANG

she got out and came over and promptly said "looks like were both at fault here"

i said clearly not, got her details, though she made it clear she didnt want to go through insurance, so i got necessary parts and quote for paint and she just paid to cover the cost.

feel sorry for you though bro! =\

such a shame

^^^ That's really bad luck Alec. Hope things don't occur in 3s.

Christmas time is a time of more erratic driving too peeps - it's everywhere!

er yeah its all that ham and egg nog.. this happened to me a few months back. took a while but the police got the owners details eventually who i had to play phone tag with for a while. Kept denying it even with 3 or 4 witnesses and it wasnt easy as i only had 3rd party not comprehensive but i eventually got them to make a claim when i threatened them with civil action.

Hope you either have compre or a more co-operative offender..

good luck!

Had exactly this happen to me a few months back.

Gotta make sure the person admits to reversing into you (get them to sign a paper saying so in the meantime) and then fills out a cop form to say so. (i did this so there wasnt any issue and it went thru iunsurance without a hitch)

If they dont its very easy for them to jump around n say you drove into the back of them and they will ping you for the costs...

Good luck

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
