hey riaz!!! everyone is telling me there is no way i am going to get my car back the way I was talking to you about it..... :D i guess I shouldnt get my hopes up

do you know what skylines go for at auctions - one with a rear end hit (about $500 damage)... is there a big market for them?

thanks so much for the advice though - I am still going to try

you dont find any skylines at any auctions unless they are write offs.

usually to find one at a regular auction means the owner is not online and thinks the auction is a good way to get alot of money for a car.

i reckon still make the phone calls, like we talked about. it ideally all comes back to what percentage the car represented in the loan agreement as to what they want for it. but seriously cos you know the value and roughly what you are gonna pay, dont stress.

put the question out there. how many people have been through your situation and tried to buy their car back, would you even get 1 answer thats a yes.

i havent done that either, but I do know what goes on behind the scenes 85% of the time

i think you will fine.

I am going to phone the guys case manager from the bank - the one I have spoken to at least oncea week and I am going to do what you said - offer the reserve... but this is a $18000 car for like a $30 - 40000 loan... dont ask me how, what etc hahah all I know is that he used the skyine as security for the loan or whatever. So the bank will want to get as much as poss... which worries me that they think they will get more than the reserve at auction.

Dumb privacy act is preventing me getting too much info - but the copper that i have pressed charges with was a cop with my dad... so he has been getting alot of info for me

    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
