Yeah not sure where you're all getting the idea that his insurance will fix it and chase it all up etc...That's exactly what third party does not give you..

Third party, you hit someone and are at fault, your insurance fixes their car, you fix your own car. Someone hits you and they're at fault, their insurance handles it all, your insurance has nothing to do with it..

Full comp, call the kunce and tell them to fix everything, now.

Tell this mother f**ker that the damage to his skull was pre existing and not a result of you caving it in with a f**king brick

Uninsured motorist cover

Up to $3000 cover for damage to your car by an uninsured driver

No excess is required for this, but you do need to supply them with the other driver's details so that JCI can recoup their costs.

Similarly, with comprehensive insurance you need to supply the at fault driver's details, else pay your excess and effectively have a claim processed as "at fault", i.e. you might as well have hit a tree with no one else involved.

It's possible this guy has no insurance and is just trying to bargain/scare his way out of a big bill, or his excess is quite high, thus trying to get his mate (lol) to con you into settling for less than his excess. Good luck with it viper - though the chips really are in your hand - welcome to the world of people pawning their problems and responsibility off onto others :/

As per above comment I don't think you have a choice to refuse his insurances assessor / repairer looking at your car and potentially doing the job as it's a claim through his policy not yours. Whoever fixes it should do nothin less than a satisfactory job.

I was hit by a woman who was at fault, got the claim number off her and then told her insurance company I wouldn't go near their preferred repairer douchebags with my 10 foot pole (thanks to VWLBC advice)

Went promptly to Micolour, Mick is sorting it all out for me

have full comp with shannons = car gets hit... take it to uncle mick and walk away knowing it will look better than it did before the hit

speaking to 32GTR owner at sandown on the weekend... neighbours acorns fell on his roof and bonnet leaving marks reminiscent of hail damage. called Shannon's, they pointed him to a respectable panel beater... nek minnit - panel repairs + full respray for cost of excess.

mad jelly.

should have brought to me. did all 16 on micra in about an hour.

gentle love taps with hammer, some washers and an old wheel nut.

much easier than taking hub off to press

Anyone going to the monthly meet in couple of weeks? Can't decide if I should come.

I should be in for that one.

I've got a ball tomorrow night, so cannot sadly. At that point in the night I'm guessing I'll be in a place where, really, I should not have car keys anywhere close to me :P

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
