If the car is a write off any idea what I would get as a payout? Also how do i get the option to buy it back?

Has anyone had any experience with micolor or DT panels?

Yeh I'm calling write off, you would have to get a few valuations done on it minus damage, there's a few other ways but I don't know if u can do that now, probably will have to speak to their insurance and work something out with red book or glasses guide values

You would get paid out whatever the market value is on the insurance.

But given it's not registered and not in a RWC state (perhaps), that might be a tad lower.

It's not looking good.

Does anyone know when DT panels opens again? Or micolor?

Mick (Micolour) isn't back I think till the 2nd week of Jan, probably the same for other places too

fair stack :D

for reference when my 33 was written off it was insured for market value so around 11,000

i had the option to buy the car back at time it was declared write off and they would let me keep the car and pay me the difference, around 6k ish and its no longer available for comprehensive insurance or let them have the car they pay me out the 11k minus excees etc

That's what I said, you said if the car was parked illegally it would be the stationary vehicles fault, or implied that way at least. So yeh, it is a broad overview

Parked illegally like if you park in front of a fire hydrant and then there's a fire they will damage your car to get access and you won't be covered

Lol, does anyone else want to repeat what I said? Anyone?

DT reopen Jan 2.

My 33 was written off in March this year, got pad 12700 from memory (after excess). Had option to buy it back but didn't look into it.

Ouch, that thing's a write off for sure.

You should be covered by their insurance, regardless of rego or not.

Were you moving at the time? Or was it parked outside your house? Either way, you might be in for a visit from Johnny Lawman, but if it was just parked you might get lucky.

That's a bugger mate, if it's not written off I can vouch for Mick at Micolour, he's not the cheapest and will take his time (which is good) but he's worth it.

Also, if it's parked illegally... wait, what?

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
