dun matter...

it wont be a writeoff for that... just likely to be a quote the ins co will refuse lol

as I was insured with shannons they authorise mick to do the work THEN give the quote to the at fault party and let them deal with it.

Can any brahs recommend some panel beaters in the south east? Need to get some quotes for insurance. Don't want my car written off so no micolour pls (looking at you Pat)

You can try DT Panels, but his pretty busy atm if you needed urgent work done

So if her insurance co are going to tell me to jam my quote from micolour, why would I bother going there? Lol

Having to drive around to panel shops after some careless tart smashes into me is inconvenient enough

You can have whoever you like in your insurance list to fix it, if you have choice of repairer then you can choose whoever you like. Your insurance pays for it, and then claims the amount of the at fault party. Your car gets fixed by who you want, if the at fault insurer refuses that isn't your problem, your insurance company will have that argument. That's why u pay for insurance.

To my knowledge you can have anyone you want repair it anyway. You're not held to ransom by their insurance company or having choice of repairer on your own policy. It's not your fault if the other party that hit you has cheaped out on their insurance or not.

Hence you can have it repaired wherever you want and you can refuse their company's quote / place of repair. Their insurance company do have the option of settling it in VCAT if they think your quote is too high and refuse to pay it, though. However, unless it's ridiculously high they will likely just pay for wherever you want to take it and not bother with contesting it.

It's like people thinking Just Cars will force you to go with a repairer from their list. It's actually illegal to do this, to my knowledge. Had a panel beater tell me this, that they just word it cleverly in their PDS to make it sound like you have to. All they can do is contest a quote they think is too high, like every other insurance company. So when I had repairs done, that's exactly what happened. The Just Cars assessor said if I really wanted to I could go with my quote. I ended up choosing theirs because, when I looked at the finer details of the quotes, their recommended place was actually going to do a better job...

Conversely, you also don't have to be satisfied with their repairs and can contest that. Remember legal studies Ric; the law seeks to restore the status quo. If things aren't the way they were before (and you wouldn't even recognise me anymore), you have the right to challenge it until you are satisfied.

Oh and get a hire car for free out of the fkers too.

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
