Xmas 2011

[rayh1]

Great Xmas and start to New Year

Boxing Day driving home from Tauranga to Taupo at 10pm had about 20kg of dog race out from side of road

and despite me braking and going to edge of road to avoid it, dog smacked into front drivers corner of my 300GT

End result:

Bumper replacement approx $1600

Grill replacement approx $350

Headlight replacement $1400

Minor panel damage prob about $200

Labour................god only knows

Now find that the Airbag light flashing after accident means new airbag........................$2500

Dog died at scene

Thank god for my car insurance

Nuwan @ import revolution in Melbourne has about 10 V35 sedans wrecking, his prices are good compared to new/nisswreck and his postage is cheap!!

$450 for front bumper

$290 for front gaurd

$175 for grill

Hope this helps you out a bit. Just as long as your okay. If you swerved and had an accident you would have been done for neg driving..... Car is fixable, life isnt as easy.

From what i understand Airblag flashing doesn't mean you need a new airbag. (I have a solid Airbag light which i'm sure is far worse).

Google ways to stop the airbag light flashing, its fairly straight forward. Just turning car on / off a certain number of times.

Yeh my m8t had that issue in his 33 GTST there was some sensor on the door he played with a few times to fix it, maybe there is something similar or even an ECU reset might help unplug ur battery for 30min to an hour to reset it im not sure of another way to reset it.

Its the Insurance company that decided to replace the airbag

When the panel beaters took the car to the Nissan agents to check the flashing light, they were told that the airbag

had developed a fault and needed to be replaced

I guess it must have been the accident as it was one helluva thump. I was just surprised the thing didnt go off

Unfortunately the airbag has to come from Japan and costs $2500 worst part is that it takes about 2 weeks

As has been said in an earlier post, " Car is fixable, life isnt as easy."

Just glad we werent injured, there was a big ditch on the side of the road which would have rolled us had I gone any further off road

to avoid the dog, I saw the ditch coming and couldnt do any more to avoid the dog
