Why are people such assholes when it comes to accidents and insurance? I've waited patiently for the other party to organise insurance and obtained a quote estimate for my car which they are saying is "too high" (why does that matter? The cost is going to be more than their excess so they'll have to pay insurance anyway) and they are checking with another panel beater.

Not once have I received a "sorry for damaging your car" since my car is in mint condition :( If I don't receive a response from them tomorrow then all hell is going to break loose.

never give a f**k about other people in insurance claims, worst thing you can do tbh

just get your insurance to chase them around for it and get what you can from the claim

Yeah, tomorrow is the absolute deadline to see what they will do. I only have 3rd party fire and theft, so they are hopeless when it comes to these things. He lives an hour away from me, so even if his "friend" panel beater (which I WON'T go to) gets a cheaper quote there is no way in hell I'm driving down there. It's inconvenient enough I won't have my car for a few weeks, which the panel beater near me offers a courtesy car as well.

If you got all the guys details and insurance company get one of those lawyers where you just fill in a one page form they do the rest costs you nothing they get payment from the insurance company I think

I did it twice was easy as

Hmm, which one did you go through? I have insurance and JustCar covers up to $3,000 for uninsured damage (assuming they don't want to go through insurance) which I "think" will cover me, hopefully I won't have to pay any excess for that and JustCar takes care of it (which is their job).

Also curious on this? Gf's bestie got hit by some fob woman and now her husband is refusing to make an insurance claim, this could help a lot.

I've had it when a motorbike ran into the evo, just contact your insurance company and tell them what happened they will pay you out and then chase up the person at fault (sort of like a debt agency) they have a certain amount they can give you, think justcar was $3500

meh I've done same.

some-one hits you

you can call your insurance company and they take care of it.

note you will have to your use their repair company not your choice.

but other than that so easy.

last 2 ppl that hit me, i've been with AAMI

I call them they get me to drop car next day

chauffeur car back to work.

car fin 4-5 working days later

chauffeur car picks me up from work

collect car.

happy

or if you not sure about crap drop it off at one of those sheen place that claim to take care of everything

plus give your a crappy getz to drive around

If you're not at fault you're allowed to choose your own repair company (spoke to the panel beaters who told me the situation). It's an inconvenience for me having to get my car repaired, so no way am I going to one outside my suburb.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
