sounds like you should get your car out of there and go somewhere that has a reputation and that wont mess you around. cut your losses and start over. it'll be expensive and you'll loose a bit of money, but you wont get messed around......

I agree however in this case which i have pointed out IT SHOULD NOT MATTER... if he is not at fault and as long as he had 3rd party insurance his insurance company should be doing ALL the work. I know when i got rear ended by some woman in a BMW with my first car i only had third pary insurance however i got her licence number and rego details passed them onto NRMA and they sorted the whole thing out all i had to do was go get a couple of quotes to fix the damage...

Although it would have probably been fixed quicker he had full insurance :D

ps this is not rage at anyone here it just amazes me that andrew has had to do some much of the running around himself considering he was not at fault

/end rant :cheers:

Moral of the story:

Full comp insurance saves your time and your money!

I am surprised that Andrew is doing allot of the work and I admire his efforts but i felt he should have contacted the Insurance agency by now and get them do their job- what he pay's them for!!!

But Andrew - hats off too you!!!

getting parts- now the shit with spay painters

Frustrating!!!

Now that more serious money is being thrown around then

Let the insurance people step in and do their thing!!!

This is a lesson to us all!

(sorry dude but I had too!)

{No! I don’t work for an insurance agency}

Unfortunately this isn't always the case as I had full comp insurance when I had my accident and it still took 10 months and my constant chasing up to get something done about all the problems I had.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
