something is different between the two boxes....not sure what i cant remember

trevor birrell in adelaide is excellent on port work...not local but worth it

that guy from stick is as shifty as a sh1thouse rat..........as said if its an 89 model or a rebuild then you wont have a plate....

ever since i bought a vehicle powered by an RB26.......wallet out.....

its rocker or cam cover dude

no idea sorry

Im having a clean out so i have a getrag 6 speed gearbox with unknown klms on it,i used it as a spare about 6 years ago when i had mine out giving it an overhaul.It shifted fine and all gears worked back then,since its been collecting dust....no transfer case on it $2800 pick up only

I weld it all the time at work...i just use normal tig and set up same as stainless

from my experience AAMI are the best payers in regards to third party claims

i probably wouldnt be taking anything off before the assessor comes...in actual fact id be washing and polishing it and cleaning the inside to make it look like it was worth more $$$ and well looked after....the more you can make the car worth the better if they are going to total loss it....and i would assume putting second rate stuff on would drop the value?I guess its something you would have to weigh up if the stuff is worth hanging on to or giving it up and getting a good payout

sorry i must have misunderstood this :S the above is correct

i will also add if your panel beater is a recommended repairer of RACV.....i was asked to have an RACV sign and declined as they make you sign a contract saying that you wont do third party claims against them....edit sorry was confused with all this RACV and API talk.....your API will be fine

they have no legal right to take it to there recommended repairer as you stated in your above post....there assesor will come to your panel shop to have a look at it and filter the independant assessors quote....but thats all, he may ask.....but your no obligated to let him move it.....i deal with these people everyday,i know how it works.If they try play hardball tell them your going to a third party recovery agent and watch them give in.......And if your letting them walk all over you with your datsun your not playing the game properly....and i assure you RACV is by far the worst,they will lie to you on many occasions to stall payment and try and offer you well under what the vehicle is worth

i might also add that in RACV's case they have agreements with certain places for tender on the bones....for example they send photos to them and ask them to put a figure on the wreck....then they deduct that from your payment and give you the number of the people that put in the tender and they are on contract to stick to there figure and take it away and pay you direct...

in regards to third party claims the insurance company has no right to the vehicle once they have paid out(unless you agree otherwise)for example RACV will normally do this .......XXX model car worth 10K pre accident.....salvage value on the wreck 2k...they will pay you 8k and leave you the wreck....API is under written by AAMI....they will most likely hit you with a figure and they take the bones away

bullshit on the car going to there repairer........mobile or not....with a third party claim your panel beater will have an independant assesor that they use (and he will be a member of the assesors association) and his assesment will be recognized as fair and resonable

actually the panel beater will get to charge storage cost's and a loan car if he has one

yep thats how it works....If its a total loss like you say the panel beater wont get anything anyway right??????????

you need her to lodge a claqim and get the claim number off her....then your panel beater will do the rest....no need to get lawyers,we do it all the time at work

An RACV test is not worth wiping your arse with.....i wish people would stop giving money to those (unts

try accell garage in 14 freight rd tullamarine.....richy is a top guy and great mechanic

when is someone gunna fit a towbar and tow a trailor around to show some versitilty?

no lewis hamilton gags?

thats the ground coat problem i was talking about!
