hey guys

over the week i had a huge car accident in which some f.ucka speeding took out my front end (front bar ruined , gaurds ruined, radiator stuffed , bonnet, pretty much did around 8grand worth of damage)

now since the dude didnt have insurance has left me in a very very tight situation.

i now need to repair the car with 2nd hand parts i dont know the extent of the damage as yet but definately im going to need a new bonnet , both guards and a front bar (all for a series 2 r33) thats as a minimum and then all the engine parts he may have ruined, damn f.ucka. as i cant really afford all this i only have two options

1. keep my car off the road and repair it over 4 months.

2. repair it using parents money and sell the car.

now i need to repair it because as all skyline owners know its so hard to part with something uve spent alot of time money and effort into.

so if any guys out there know ne places where i can get a front cut for a series 2 pretty cheap would be of much help

what parts are included in a front cut? just outa curiousity, im still spewing ova the fact that the other guy doesnt have insurance and ive only got 3rd party, which really screwed me up.

My Mate steve has a front cut for you.

call him on 0411 107 654 or 0433 119 390.

Best of luck and sorry to hear this has happened to you.

As nick said. o and commence legal action immediently or you willl get constant stupid drivers like him who have no insurance who think they can get away with it all the time.

if YOU have insurance, you notify the insurnance company, and let them handle it, they will take his a$$ down :rofl:

If you don't have insurance, then

go to a smash repairer, they can probably tell you the best attack (other than a lawyer). But you need to get a quote done, then send a letter of demand for them to pay.

then u wait x days, and send another....then if they still dont contact, you go to a...err...cop type person (not a cop tho) and they issue the request to thier face. then you take them to court.

there should have been witnesses - find them

u need to log it with police so you have a incident number

u have the argument "how else would i have this guys license number etc..plus these ppl saw the accident"

he will have to pay. it might take you 6 months, but yeah...

talk to a repairer they can give you more detailed info..i had to do it for mine, my insruance company handled it.

DaGr81,

a mate of mine was in a similar situation, except he was the one at fault.

He had NO insurance and NO rego. Rego expired a week before the accident!

The other parties involved did have insurance and just let their respective insurance companies do the chasing up for them.

It took few months to sort everything out, however his accident was complicated by some medical bills as an injury was believed to have been suffered by one of the drivers/passenger that was hit. By the sounds of things, no-one was seriously injured in ure accident???

re: Front cuts / spares, i get most of my parts from just jap in Kirrawee.

They've been pretty good to me so far.

Hope it eventually all works our for you.... sooner than later!

I reckon if you go ahead and do that, you won't get anything out of the guy. Talk to a few shops (ones that KNOW they wont get the work) and see what they say.

Maybe you can get a quote for a fix, then send him the bill, but actually get done what u really want.

why don't you wait until it's repaired before doing that...you gotta make sure the other party pays up before you modify it.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
