youre obligated to tell them, also if you dont and you try to claim, its called insurance fraud

True, but I think they were meaning get it insured now and fix it without claiming for this unisured accident. At least I hope so....

Doesn't matter Leon, they'll use it as an excuse to deny any future claims if they find out.

Always had a low opinion on the insurance industry, its worse now that woman has been telling me stories...

Me too. I don't think I've ever had a good experience, or even what I'd consider to be a fair outcome.

No, wait, I tell a lie. About 14 yrs ago someone hit my wife's car & it was fixed satisfactorily with minimal stuffing around. So that's once out of numerous dealings (not only cars)...

I guess it depends on the insurance company. whistling.gif

Only issue with my claim was that the assessor took 1.5 weeks too long to get out and assess my Stagea (it was located ~1hr outside the Melbourne Metro area)

Other than that, Shannon's have been awesome (friendly, attentive and very quick to pay out in my case).

Drives me nuts with stuff like this. Friend of mine had his window smashed and his stereo stolen once. Took them a week to get to him. Middle of winter and he needed his car as a daily, he replaced the window and cleaned up the glass. Assessor was suss about him as he had no proof of the smashed window. Do they not realise that the alternative is them paying for a whole new interior and cab rides for a week? :rolleyes:

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.

      Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
