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?

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
