insurance premiums are worked out according to specific categories and conditions. so, basically, through this incident, because the person at fault was a mid 20's girl driving a camry, this therefore, across the board, increases the % of incidents cause by a mid 20's girl in a camry, and the cost of such incidents. so using that, for the insurance company, it becomes slightly more risky to insure such a person, therefore increasing the insurance of mid 20's girls in camrys across the board. so for a guy driving an import, it actually makes no difference at all, because the incident was not caused by a male in a import, thus not affecting you at all... on top of that, the incurance this girls was covered with in the first place, doesn't insure imports anyway. so if you know how the assessment of insurance premiums is done, you will know that this particular incident has no bearing on insurance costs of import drivers. the only direct outcome of this particular incident was an import driver coming out on top for a change. but every time there is one asshole who is not happy to see somebody come out on top.

ahh, so you must be a mid 20's girl who drives a camry and sneezes and accelerates. maybe you should think about getting yourself a real car, or alternatively, sticking to a push bike and you will have no further trouble with insurance. have a nice day sweety. try not to kill someone

Just a quick story, On the way to work a few weeks ago, just going past toowong shopping centre on coronation rd in a bit of traffic. Pulled up due to the car stopping in front of me, when i heard a screetch and a crash behind me. turned around to see the crash, when the car behind me bumped into me. Pulled up at the bus shelter up the road, and turns out that a chick in a camry had a sneezing fit, and didn't think to brake, and then ran into the car behind me, which then ran into me. Anyways, not much damage, just a slighlty cracked rear bar. Was semi happy about it as the bumper had a little 20c sized imprint in it due to some dipshit at indro shopping centre. So dropped the car of at the assesment centre who then took it to my local smash place with the quote. rang up a couple of days later pissed of about to complain how long it was all taking, when they answered that they were still waiting on the front bar. "Do you know how long it's going to be before the car is ready? It's already been a couple of days. I got told it wouldn't take more than 48 hours after you guys received it." "Sorry mate, i just have a note here to say that we are still waiting on some parts" "Parts? I thought you guys had the sourced the rear bar already" "We are still waiting on the front bar" "Front bar......? How long is the wait on that? (at this point i am bluffing, because my front bar was not touched, but had a crack alongside the bottom of it because of a parking incident)" "should have the car back on monday" "and this is all going to be covered by insurance? there are no fees for me, seeing as it was the other chicks fault, right?" "yeah, all covered. you will have it back on monday" "no worries, take your time." you should have seen the big grin on my face. still grinning about it now, because i have the car back, and it looks fantastic. they even washed, waxed, polished the rims and vacumed and dusted the interior. I even got the guys to touch up a scratch on my side skirt for free. So just a feel good story for me, and a free bump for Wizard Smash Repair in Taringa.

where is this car located. sorry if i missed it somewhere, but just quickly scanning it at work.

got some pics of the car?

yeah, they are liable as the dogs have to be contained within their property or leashed at all other times. as col said, if it was a public road, they are responsible for the damage. but you do feel bad asking people for money after you have killed their pet....

Spotted a black r33 series one parked in the Indooroopilly police station car park. Anybody from here? Reason?

nice, is the trust kit of similar dimensions?

As the topic says, I was considering purchasing a Hybrid front mount kit, and was curious whether they filled out the standard front bar of a series 2 skyline. I was wondering if anybody had a photo of the kit mounted on a series two, and if they could post it. I had a quick look around and couldn't find any pics, so please don't waste your own time by telling me that search bar owns me or any other rubbish. Cheers Miso

Interested in swap plus cash? R33 series 2

Really hate it when people do this, but, do you feel like separating the rims? Got nice 17's I could swap you for, plus cash adjustment....

what sort of trades were you interested in. was thinking of modifying my r33 s2, but if you would be interested in a swap, let me know

my grandmother struggles to manouver the shopping trolley around shops. so it would be for the best to get her off the road

^^^ At this point I was a peugeot 307 owner import i guess, but not one associated with a bad name

As savage bliss said, if the defect is not in the system, rip the sticker off and don't worry about it. I had a semi-similar thing happen to me. Got booked by a cop for exiting a roundabout incorrectly and not indicating. $90 dollar fine. Ripped the thing up immediately in anger, so I didn't have the account details to be able to pay it. So had to call the department of transport to inquire who I should make to payment to, and how I should go about it. The woman on the phone told me it was not on record and that I should go to the local police station where i was booked, and get them to re issue the fine. I politely replied with "f**k that" and promptly hung up on her. Decided not to worry about it. This is over a year ago, and the fine never came.

Did anybody read the article two days ago about car park rage. Some guy smacked an 80year old lady for taking his car park in a shopping centre. She fell forward breaking her nose. Broke her wrist as well i think. One less old driver on the road at least....... or is that just the wrong thing to say in this situation?

After putting some thought into this, the skyline is getting a greddy front mount, electronic boost controller and a power fc fitted in three weeks time. On thursday I am taking one of these puppies for a spin: Decided to have two toys to play with Thanks for all the suggestions, will let you know if i maim myself on the r6

done the holiday thing. been to europe and us and shit. now i'm 25, been saving for a while, and 12k is what i am willing to fork out whilst hanging on to some savings for the rainy day, or house deposit. the cash is there to be spent for my enjoyment after saving for a long while. am leaning towards either gtr or bike, because if i spend it on the gtst, that money has basically disappeared, with little chance of getting it back. but how fast can i make the gtst go for 9k? if anybody has a list of mods, plus installation for a 9k budget, i would appreciate it....

sorry to go off topic, but how much did that install cost? I was hoping to do a similar thing to conserve precious space in my r33.

what figure did you have in mind for the motor?

might be hitting you up for one of those advertised fmic kits shortly. once i figure out what the hell is happening

got 12k already sitting. using the sale of the pug for other crap, hopefully plasma and a new couch. wasn't planning on spending too much more on the stereo, because it already has jb splits front and back, four channel amp and a pioneer head deck with stacker. just figured i needed a good sub and an amp. couldn't convert the pug to a diesel, too much fun to drive with the 1.9l motor at the moment. it's like a go kart.

What front bar is this? GTR? I am looking to change the front on my s2 as it's got a couple of cracks, and i love the look of this one, but am unsure what it is.
