If you're worried about the car depreciating 5grand in a year then just dont buy a brand new car, you'll lose 5K just by driving it away from the dealership on day one. Skylines arent that expensive to own and maintain unless you start personalising it

Buy mine Yes its true about the stalling, but most will have adjustments to tighten up the spring to reduce or eliminate the stalling.

Quit An Intresting Read
sl33ek replied to billabong-john's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
what an awesome website Bookmarked -
hey man, from that pic it looks like you placed the intercooler too far forward so its hitting your blinkers The kit comes with metal brackets that attach to the reo bar and also under the cooler to the car chassis, this allows the cooler to be installed closer to the radiator It looks like you attached it straight under the reo bar

if you're sure you're in the right, threaten to take him to a tribunal www.cttt.nsw.gov.au but write them a letter of demand first about your problem and how you want it resolved. you can use this letter in the tribunal to prove that you tried to resolve it privately first. you'll need receipts, and warrany records, photoes and stuff to prove your case. I had a problem where a guy ingnored me for damaging my car until I threatened to take him there in a latter of demand. From the website, its $31 to apply but luckily i didnt have to go that far

I think its the holden blimp too, saw it on the way home
-
hehe no that would be slack, i doubt I can get more out of him anyway. If he decided to go through insurance I would do it though
-
Yeah evil, I got the police report done the next day and included it in the letter of demand. Just want to say thanks for the advice guys, it came in handy. But yeah if i had comprehensive i wouldnt have had to do all this crap, i'm lucky it wasnt a bigger accident. Its been settled privately and I'm dying to drop off my front bar to get repaired this weekend.
-
Thanks Br3tt yeah I'm glad theres no panel damage just the front bar. Just an update, the quotes ranged from $300 to $500. I forwarded him the quotes and he sat on it for a week. I called him up to see what he wanted to do and he tried to turn it around and blame the accident on my since he was hit on the rear quarter its my fault regardless. I argued saying he merged into me and it wasnt a square hit and he didnt even straighten his car up before i hit him. Anyway I sent the letter of demand saying I'll take him to a tribunal and write formal complaints to his employer (he was a courier) if he doesnt resolve within two weeks. he got it on Friday, so I call him today to see where he stood. He claims he didnt get the letter, but i said i sent it via registered post so I said I found it hard to believe. He suddenly finds it and offers a settlement which I took. Anyway I'm glad its over, this guy was a real pain in the ass to deal with, I wouldnt be surprised if I get the "cheques in the mail" line from him though

I really like the stealth wing over the stock, the only problem is water tends to build up on the boot lid since the wing doesnt allow drainage so you end up with dirt marks if you dont dry off the water after a wash or rain. its no biggie though. Oh one other thing, you'll need to add a centre brake light on your rear window too
-
I have a hks musroom too, it was filthy. It went all crumbly when I took it out. Just replace it, costs $50 from justjap, genuine HKS too.

Thanks guys, yeah I hear you. I guess its not worth having a vendetta against this guy. I'll see if he keeps his word tomorrow, if he does then great, if not I'll grin and bear it. I'll still file the report, send quotes to both him and his insurance company though and follow it up but I wont lose any sleep over it. Damn thing is I just got the bar repaired and resprayed a couple months ago from driveway damage Thanks for the support guys, hope none of you go through this or worse
-
Thanks N1, I hope so too. Will post back on the outcome
-
Yeah. Why dont you think his third party will cover it? I'm hoping for a private settlement too because i'm pretty sure excess will cost more than the repair. But if worse comes to worse a letter of demand will be on my to do list too. Just took a couple of deep breaths, its not the end of the world and could have been worse looking back.
-
Thanks mate, thats a good idea. I was too depressed to think about doing police report, I will do that tomorrow morning. the police station was just around the corner too farken hell. In case he decides to use his insurance and needs a report number

Hi guys, this afternoon two minutes from home I had an accident. I was going straight on a two lane road when a ford transit pulled into my lane. I braked and skidded into him at around 30ks/hour and hit his rear left damaging my front right. Obviously he's at fault but he wasn't happy and trying to deny it but I called bullsh!t, he was too big and slow and trying to pull out from his lane into mine and didnt see me coming, and I wasn't speeding. In the end he accepted it because he said to get some quotes and send it to him. He's got third party through NRMA, I'm with Just cars. I called NRMA and confirmed that he was covered. Anway I call Just Cars and tell them my story, I only have third party fire and theft so they wont chase up his insurance company and told me I have to do it. The best they can do is send me an info pack on what to do, but basically get two quotes, send it to him and its up to him to claim through his insurance. The damage is minor but I'm really unhappy with it. He escaped with barely a scratch. There is scratches on my headlight but it can be polished out and the frontbar needs repair. I'm guessing $350-400. Tomorrow I will get a quote. I can either settle this privately or through insurance, but what would you guys do? I am going to go tomorrow to get two quotes and call him up with it and see if he wants to settle privately, or mail him the quote and wait for a response in case he wants to go through his insurance company. I'm worried that he will ignore me and leave me with the repair bill. I have all his details though so thats a comfort but no guarantee. This is my first accident, am I missing anything or need to do aything else? Kind of stressed right now! Just hoping I dont get screwed somehow

Yes! i had this problem for a month it was driving me absolutely INSANE Look under your car at the drive shaft and follow it down to your diff, you will see the handbrake cable. follow that down and most likely you will see that it has popped out of its holder hitting your diff, so as the driveshaft is spinning the handbrake cable is tapping it. Simply pop the cable it back in its holder I had the same symptoms, it would rattle on and off at certain RPM ranges and it was a loud metallic rattle that was embrarrasing as. Tell me if its fixed it!

Anyone Know Whos Car This Is?
sl33ek replied to Dragonforce's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Its not a 400R rear bar, but the sideskirts are, I'm guessing its a Trial one. Whatever it is, its nice. -
