Thought id give a lil update...

After a bit of a hussle getting parts/ Panels for my car, so it can be sprayed.

Finally got the Bonnet to the guy roughly 2 weeks ago..

Gave him a call yesterday to find out that he is closing down..

And has until tomorrow to get out of the shop.

My car is not finished, early touched.

So now its being towed over to someone else in Fyshwick, which i have no idea about.

So as you can imagine, im not very happy and a bit scared on whats gonna happen next.. :confused:

Goin out to the guy in Fyshwick today to suss him out.

So there we have it...

Oh and the girl who hit me, has got till th3 6/3 to get back to me on the summons papers.. or i have to take things even further.

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.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
