well i got his rego number ! im just worried that i dont have insurance maybe i cant get that claim!

Following on from Patrick's advice...

If the driver hit your car and drove off without leaving you details, you should take that rego number to the police, describe what happened and especially emphasise that he drove off from the scene of an accident.

You will then get an Event Number. If police can'r or won't chase him down, then get a traffic lawyer and give him/her the Event Number. There's a thread in SAU.NSW with a list of traffic lawyers.

How bad is the damage?

Going by your other thread.. Even if you had your insurance (third party) you wouldnt be able to make a claim if someone else hit you..

EDIT: to clarify.. I mean on your insurance.. Not theirs

No. not at all.. But you said in your other thread that you are getting third party insurance yes? Well third party covers a vehicle you hit.. It doesnt usually cover your car if you are hit by someone else.. YOUR insurance company will not fix, pay for, then chase the person who hit you on third party..

So what i'm getting at is if someone else hit you then it's up to them to fix it.. If you want assurance i recommend comprehensive insurance. Then your insurance company will help you out in these circumstances.. If you don't wish to pay the price of comprehensive then tough titties when this does happen, hope they have insurance and is going to play ball..

hehe ill bite.

YOUR third party, meaning the insurance you have = fix other cars if you are at fault. NOT YOURS (compulsory every1 must have or its illegal to drive said car)

Comprehensive will fix both cars = higher premium but peace of mind.

If a car hits you their insurance pays you to get your car fixed. If the person who hits you is gay and doesnt want to pay follow what some people up top said about reporting it to police etc etc

Kellogg's are running a promotion at the moment - every 1000th box of Coco Pops has a full comprehensive insurance policy in it for whatever vehicle you nominate..

I suggest you go out and keep buying boxes of Coco pops until you find that elusive insurance policy. Now here is the important bit - you must take out the policy on the OTHER car, but name yourself as the beneficiary. This way you can claim any damage to your car that this taxi has caused. If anyone else ever hits your car, then you have to go through the same procedure, and nominate the other car on the policy.

Rinse and repeat

They know. I don't know how they know, but they know.

Sorry

is it just-like-a-chocolate-milkshake-only-crunchy coming back up too?

Yes, only slightly warmer, and maybe not so crunchy - except for the diced carrot which it now contains. That's always crunchy.

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
