Hey guyz,

on saturday i had an accident, some guy did an illegal U-turn on walter road in morley and thought he could make it before i reached him but sadly he didnt... i braked hard but...

anyway, cops came and wrote a report that it was his fault. I called Justcars as i have full comp insurance with them, they sed they would send me a claim number via SMS but it hasnt come yet. will call tomorrow and see.

i have never had an accident so i am not sure on how to go about with this. my car was damaged in the front and the fenders are pushed back and bonnet is a little bent. the bumper is also damaged. Its a V35 BTW.

I am not sure how to get it fixed though. they want qoutes and how do i take it as i am scared to drive it around. how do they expect me to take it around getting qoutes?

and once i find a place to repair the body, who will repair the engine stuff if something is damaged? do i have to take it somewhere else to get the engine or mechanical damage fixed?

lastly, justcars have giving me a claim number and told me i can take it to any place i like, does this mean they have approved it?

just worried as i dont have another car to go to work and dont want to be without one for long.

any help will be appreciated.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
