well, @D_I_F on the forums works in claims there so she may be able to advise.

I would expect them to pay to repair the engine to match what is was before the accident (not upgrade of course), according to a reasonable quote from your chosen workshop (less an excess if the accident was your fault, which it might be with front end damage). 

AFAIK Shannons don't do repairs, although their parent company Suncorp might have options. If you don't have a shop in mind consider that there are probably at least 3 companies involved; smash repairer, mechanical workshop to do the engine and a machine shop to measure and machine the engine.

If there are any mods to the engine that have not been advised to the insurer, then they are only going to want to repair to the extent of what they have been advised. If that is "stock", then they're only going to want to do the same.

So any special cams, pistons, rods, oil pumps etc, that might have been damaged as a result of impact or running on a bit while upside down.... could be a problem and you might need to stump up some of the money.

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
