my gf's 2yr old swift got quoted 6k repairs and its only 15k value

My car is over $50k, so it must be worth it for them.....

Daniel thanks for that, no damage to my cars.

Paul evenw ith that damage it is usually worth it,

last time I had a car written off apparently the deciding factor was 75% of car value, so in your case they will spend up to 11K to fix.

My R33 GTR also got hit by the hail and was worried that the car would be writen off due to roof damage the bonnet is really bad so I thought it would need to be replaced after going to a pannel beater for my my insurance (just cars) they said they could fix it also using the paint dent removal

Just been through the entire process with Just Cars, for two cars.

What a pleasure to deal with. Took the cars to the assessment centre on Hood Street, Airport West, they deemed them both as total loss write offs.

Assuming I get my money on time, I have no complaints.

I got stuck in it driving on the tulla at the calder merge in the wife's Dualis. Her car goes in Feb 13th for repairs. RACV and they were really quick about it. It's her second brand new car that has been hit with hail damage! She was hoping for a write off as new for old but they are repairing with paintless dent removal mob from QLD that RACV got down here especially for this.

if it's on your front lawn they can't touch it. if it's on the nature strip between the footpath and the road, it's council land and they can take it.

Its on my front lawn now, so they can't touch it, Its going scrap soon just gotta get a few panels off.

We noticed some hail dints on my partners car last weekend, we took it in & it'sgot 350+ dents on it.

I took mine in today & I have 60 on the roof, 3 on the bonnet & the same on the boot & some on the quarters.

They quoted $1667.50 to do it, but my excess is a grand. Shannon's said they're not penalising drivers for claiming.

Now I have to pull a grand out of my arse to fix something you can barely see. Meh.

That's not bad for ~70 dents, where'd you take it to get that quote?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
