Back to the skyline.... seems alot of people in the insurance industry smoke crack while working. Took me 6 phonecalls and about 3 hours to find out its not written off, and that it will be fixed. on the downside, it will take apprx 3 weeks to get approved, then another 2 weeks for parts to arrive, then another week or so for fixing. DAMN U PAPERWORK!!!! Got offered a nice skyline for cheap from some friends but won't be getting a pay out so oh well.

GEEZUS!!!!! the amount of &*^$ that i have had to go through. i ring the insurance compnay every 2 days to see whats going on. Seems that Alianz is a cheap $#%^$^ insurance company that has to claim through another insruance compnay. Seems that the big insurance compnay sent the check for the repairs on the 20/10/06. which was a bloody long time ago, 1 week after the crash to be exact. And ofcourse knowing my luck it got lost, and they only just found that out! So i am going to pay for the repairs and get reinbursed because this is going to take another 4 weeks to resolve and the car is just sitting there.

Infact the repairers rang up today and said what are we doing with the car besides driving in and out of their garage day and night, they said they have had to fill it up aswell lol. So yea its getting repaired now.

Please anyone out there that is insured under alianz........GO TO A REAL INSURANCE COMPANY, theyw ill only cause u pain as they still are learning about the business unlike big players like aami,nrma, just car insurace etc.

peace out

Yay, got my car back today from Revell fyshwick. Seems they did a good job.

UPDATE: got it back from barett Brothers, seems they missed the broken shock. Driving around thinking something wrong, the rear end feels like its floating etc. So yea took it and and yay a broken shock.

Revell said that its no use replacing just one as they will have different damper rates etc and will not feel right. So i had to replace both. Rang insurance and they are like "oh we only pay for the one that was damaged, you have to pay for the other one". After alot of sswearing i think they will be paying for both.

Records are now that it has been off the road for 3 months. All cos of some retard.

My advice? Don't get in an accident!

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
