I know it wasn't drews fault but the thing is that with the driver who was at fault being deceased it might take ages and drew may want to claim on his to get another car, then let the insurance co sort it out.

Its wise and quicker to always claim on your insurance anyway, they look at your account of events + the police report and make a decision if you pay an excess based on if it was your fault.

I always have done this. Should you not be at fault your insurance company fixes your car with no hold ups, mean while they chase up the other drivers insurance company or if there is no insurance your insurance company takes the driver to court.

IF you claim through their insurance you have to wait for them to pay excesses etc, its a real pain in the arse.

I was with SGIC before I had the skyline, a driver side swiped me, it turned out he too was with sgic and I had to wait until he had paid the excess even though I had made the claim and not stated which insurance company he was with.

My guess that was just SGIC or possibly the way the crash shop lodged the forms or some thing.

I made a claim through RAA that was not my fault, they simply fixed the car, I didn't pay any excess.

BUT if you don't have full comp insurance then obviously you must go through the hassle of claiming through their insurance.

Guys, this is tragic, condolences to ther driver's family of the festiva, Drew hope you are all well champ. Just goes to show that it doesn't have to be your fault. This is why i insist on midnight cruises due to there not being too many cars on the road and you can see ppl better at night, headlights etc...... daytime cruises are too risky too many cars on the road, also due to this being a colder time of the year there is lots of dew on the road. this is giving us a BETTER name with the piggies even tho' it wasn't drew's fault. SKYLINE and ACCIDENT rings alarms with the cops. AND as far as engineering goes NO car is safer Do we remember EVILR34!!!!!! it peeled open like a coke can. Drew your one lucky fella , go buy a lottery ticket dude......

Hey guys,

havent been on here for a little while and just came on to find out about this...absolutely terrible news. I saw a really brief bit on the news about it while doing something and just saw that it was a silver 33...i didnt know the date of the cruise so it didnt even cross my mind about it. But ive just been reading everyones accounts and would just like to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of all those involved...drew, the occupants of the festivas as well as all the people on the cruise who witnessed it. This is something that no one deserves to go through.

Im still feeling the effects of loosing a mate to a single car accident on the 6th of this month and know how hard it must be for those involved in this tragic incident. Thankfully there werent any more vehicles involved, given that it was on a cruise with more cars close by.

A big pat on the back goes to the guys who assisted and everyone for their support.

Take care everyone, and pass on my best wishes to drew who i hope is recovering super quick.

Ben

Yeah its probably not a bad idea, but let things cool down a few days first. I would be happy to go if anyone else wants to go also... let me know. There is no animosity towards young jasmine and it would probably be good to let her know.

It'd be a nice touch, you'd never manage the logistics of getting people to sign it, so someone did it on everyone's behalf with something generic like:

"From all your friends in the Skylines Australia community."

Hey all, I have been speaking with the relative of Jasmine again and he tells me he is going to print out the forums and give her a copy tomorrow so if you have get well messages now would be a good time to post them for her and Drew....

Sarah and I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery, we look forward to seeing you and Drew at an SAU bbq soon!!!

Ok cool, good stuff johnn.

Well, we all wish drew and jasmine a quick recovery, especially those of us that witnessed the tragic event. To jasmine.. we are sorry for your loss and no-one is blaming you in any way for what happened. It was purely a tragic ACCIDENT.

All the best to you both and your families, regards... Martin aka. [HOSTILE]

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
