i am SOOO pissed!

5 days after i get my r33 some stupid bitch pulls out right infront of my from a shop's driveway and when she sees my stops right infront of me!!!

i sorta paniced not wanting to stuff up my car and i pushed the brakes too hard and locked the bastards (grrr i always said to myself i wouldnt do that!!) if only i didnt lock em up i would have stopped in time!!

now my front bar is F***ED and i bet the bitch wont pay up for a new 1!!!

iv got no insurance company to fight for my money!

DAMMIT!:):mad: :mad: :shake:

f**k ! Damn man that's gotta suck. Now all you haters see exactly why my Sky is sitting preetty in my garage until it's insured !!! ;)

How wrecked are we talking though ? Like a new front bar will fix her up ? Checked your FMIC (did you have an FMIC ?) ? Most times you'll find theres a lot more structural damage also than meets the eye, ask a few here bout simple rear enders (I think Prank has had one of the car type, ask Birty for anything else) ...

Technically who's fault is it ? Was she on the road by the time you hit her ? eg Rear Ender on your part ?

ouch, that gotta suck ugene. i don't want to sound like a bi**h but i told you to be careful.

hope you didn't tell her you got no insurance. you should play it cool like you'd rather go private so she doesn't pay excess and try to get money out of her.

got witnesses?

haha thanx george...;)

k ... here goes..

i was on a staight road. just redlined 1st (not on purpose) so i was doin about 60-70K's in a 50 zone..

she was coming out of the drivway at the shops..

there was cars parked on the side of the road..

so she had to creep forward too see if there was any oncoming traffic...there was..ME!..

by the time she saw me the front of her car had taken up more than 3/4 of my lane..

when she saw me she totally froze.

i saw her and straight away was like shit! i totally thought she was going to gun it and make the turn coz she was so far out ...

i braked suddenly and when i saw she didnt move i sorta paniced and braked more.. thats when the brakes locked up..

and i slid right into her.. and hit her drivers side just infront of the door...

i wasnt goin fast by the time i hit her .. her car had s**t all dammage.. but ofcourse the fibre glass kit just craked ..

the front bar is damaged on the driver side just under the healight.. and i cracked my blinker.. i am HOPING its only the bar that is damaged and nothing structural!!

if i had known she was just gonne sit there i could have easily gone on the other side of the road around her...

but i didnt coz i thought she was gonna make the turn..

there was heaps of witnesses .. some recon it was my fault for speeding, some say it was hers for being in my lane...

she recons that it was both of our falts (me for speeding and her for being out too far)

she said that she had to go through her insurance company and would call me the next day (she still hasnt .. she was supposed to call tues)

i did go straight to the cops but they said if no cars had to be towed and there was no 1 hurt it was a civil matter and they had nothing to do with it..

im gonna ring her tomorrow and see whats up..

and yes she is blond.. approx in her late 30's-40's nad yeh i did get all her details except i forgot to get her insurance company name..

im thinking since its prob gonna cost a shit load to fix the fibre glass and buy a blinker.. i might as well get a gtr bar fitted..

but yeh im definatly gonna be more careful!!

Your lucky they'll have to go off facts. No-one can prove you were speeding, none of the witnesses can tell by sight how fast a vehicle is travelling .... but one thing they can all tell is who had right of way.

Her bad, hope it all gets fixed up for ya !

umm, there are always the skidmarks.

ugene, better get scrubbing. get rid of that eveidence:(

j/k but yeah, they can prove if you were speeding from skid marks. no one was hurt or anything so i don't think there will be this huge investigation. face the fact that it was partly your fault and go halves in repair bill unless she is going through insurance like you said, and she admits fault.

ouch

but it sounds like its not your fault even if you were speeding she pulled out in foront of you so she has to pay. she can argue that you were speeding and you will go to court but you will win cause she pulled out infront of you... its beeen done berore but takes alot of time.

pete

if you cant afford the insurance you cant afford the car

No cops were there so they can't determine the speed, full stop. They can't go to the scene and pick a skid mark and work off that.

She stuck her head out where it wasn't supposed to be, and that's it. Chances are the insurance company will not pay out. But I reckon play a little mind game with them and that the matter futher. They know she's in the wrong, even though you were speeding.

I had this with problem before but I went through my insurance comany and it was all fixed.

In future, don't drive an uninsured car on the road. It's not worth the troubles.

    • Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this   
    • For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
    • Oh, yes. If you connected it to the manifold your first drive would be very eventful. Very shit. Very interesting. Perhaps take a video if you feel the need to see. Terminating the breather at the top of the bellhousing is normal/stock. Some gearbox lubes (hello Redline Shockproof) like to foam up a bit and require the breather to be extended up higher, so you don't get spots of smurf jizz staining the floor under your car. Mine is thus right up behind the head. Make sure you fit a u-bend at the top so it points back downward so that dirt and schmutz has a harder time getting into it.
    • Cheers for the replies. So i don't connect it to the manifold I just run the hose high up on the firewall?
    • It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue
