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.

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
