SO car was written off but not put o the register..seems strange.

Repairable Write off...

Cheaper for just car insurance to do a write off payout than fix it (properly).

Thus why this sale is clearly dodgy, there won't be a lot of change from $9,000 o.n.o. if it was fixed properly.

I think it doesn't have to be on the register if the car's over 15 year old?

That could explain why it isn't on the register...

WOOOOOOTTTTT MY CAR IS READY!

Time to go to the panel beaters and pick it up... Need to get there in under 50 minutes or the place will be shut... Waiting on a taxi to arrive now *impatient*

I've already called him saying I'm interested... Waiting on a call back... Will go and see it on my way home if I can.

Called him again just before... I'm going to go see it tomorrow... with Matt...

Shall record the encounter for the wasteland lulz

WOOOOOOTTTTT MY CAR IS READY!

So... my car had a camry reverse into the middle of the passenger door.

It went into the AAMI assessment center on Tuesday Morning last week (19th)

It was getting a new door, and bring resprayed at a place Monash Car Center on Princess Hwy

I get the phone call that it ready to come pick up tonight.

Went there to go pick it up and it all looked good. the paint colors matched and all was well.

Car was locked, so couldn't open the door.

Accepted the car, drove it home and on the way I noticed a "few" issues.

They've swapped the inner door panel, speakers, glass, etc into the new door. The tint on the glass is scratched quite badly and is peeling (like inch long sections peeling off)

The power mirror does not function at all.

The power window functions intermittently, I'm thinking a wiring connection issue.

The panel gaps are different from the top to the bottom of the door, it varies by more than 2mm from top to bottom.

Letting the door swing shut by itself, it stops with 10cm to go.

Once fully closed, the top of the window looks to be about 1cm lower than it should be, so it doesn't go into the slot where it should go, instead it hits the bottom of the fat rubber bit.

Honestly, how the f**k can a place f**k it up so much... *sigh*

Gonna call JCI tomorrow and rip a new arsehole out of this joint.

2mm panel gap on a 15~ year old car...uhoh lol

Who could even notice 2mm other stuff sounds fair enough though. Panel beaters would have given zero fks they are useless pricks

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
