we are goin to his friend's smashed repair to check the car cause he doesn't want to touch his insurance and save money,so we will go have a look first,what kind of thin should i know before i go check my car?

Have you got insurance? Up to you but if he's saying it's nothing, I'd consider just getting insurance to sort it, just in case it gets messy. You're not in it to save HIM money..

Watch out, you don't want to get screwed over. I'd say get it checked out by an independent repairer (ie not his mate). If he's already claiming it's not much chances are his mate may say similar.

thanks guys, for sure i will ask other smash repairs to tell the damage and get a quote, but i will go tomorrow the first thing and meet da guy and his friend's work shop.i don't want get screwed over so i need to know what the things have behind da bumper,and what questions should i ask to beat them down?

What a pain in the arse this guy IS. Its his fault not yours you owe him NOTHING, If you go to his "mate" I bet you they try to tell you a load of shite, give you a quick (read shitty) repair job that replaces nothing that should be replaced and a paint job from Hell. You've got a high performance sports car, dont mess with it, keep it in top trim. You have 24 hrs to report an accident do it NOW insurance will love you.

your going to have alot more damage than you think.

my gtr got hit in the arse and didnt even take paint off but pop the boot and it had pushed the beaver panel in 8'' and folded the boot floor in. go through insurance as my car cost $3000 to fix and i dont think this guy will wont to cough that much money up, good luck.

lol i cant beleive you agreed to go to his mates repair shop. as if he's gonna do a proper job and make the guy that hit you (his mate) pay for what really needs to be done

he doesnt want to go through insurance? too bad.

Dude are you dumb or pretending? Do you have any insurance (if not then u are dumb) contact them, make sure you have all the other guy's details and let them deal with it. Finished.

YES YOU CAN

It's HIS fault, and if you call you're insurer, they will handle it for you.

DO NOT use his mate. I repeat. DO NOT use his mate.

Most Third party insurers will handle a not at fault claim for you. Otherwise, find a panel shop that will do it all for you, including billing the other driver and taking him to court if he doesn't want to pay.

once agian, DO NOT allow his mate to fix it, because they WILL fark it up.

BASS OUT

yeah man don't use his mate.........thats one of the stupidest comments i have ever heard(no offence buddy) but it's his mate offcourse he isn't going to want his mate to pay heep so he WILL cover up allot of shit that needs to be done.........man go insurence who gives a S*#$ about him HE HIT YOU thats his own problem mate.

He hit you. Who cares how much it is all going to cost? It's going to be out of his pocket. As mentioned earlier 3rd party insurance should still be able to cover you if you are not at fault. The insurance company will get repaid by the other guys insurance company. If the other guy doesnt have insurance, DEFINITELY go through your insurance or else it will be a pain in the ass.

Oh, and don't go anywhere near his mates workshop. You seem to have been easily pursuaded to do things his way so far, so you really don't want to get in a situation where the two of them can push you around. You are in control of this situation since you were not at fault.

Why is it that when ever you get hit by someone who's 100% at fault they always have some (dodgy) 'mate' who's good at smash repairs? I've heard this kind of story many times before. I could even say that my Dad is good at smash repairs; he fixed my old Corolla when it rolled down my drive way and into a tree (very lucky the tree was there!) And he did a really good job of it too! Wish I had a mate in 'professional' smash repairs!

"They taste like burning!"

Mate you are the biggest idiot ever.. Why are u going to his friends repairer?? Are you STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If u got third party, its fine, cause its his fault!! not yours..

OMG if u go thru this, i hope you never get your car fixed properly lol..

Thats why insurance is for!! DOH!!!!!!! third party will cover it.. unless stated otherwise in your contract ..

MEh..

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
