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

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
