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.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
