Hi fellas,

Yesturday (black friday.....) i got into a smallish accident. This woman was trying to get onto the left lane from a carpark driveway and crept out too much as i passing on the right lane, she hit the passenger door all the way to the rear pods. dented in the door, side skirts and bit of rear quater. Oh my sexy pearl white :laugh:

shes been kind enough to sort everything out wiht insurance on her side within 30mins of the accident, we are both on 3rd party. what im worried about is if her insurance comp sent out a insurance inspector, will that person try to deny a payout due to any illegal mods??? no illegal mods have been damaged tho.

Has any body got expirence in this type of situation?... Any info about a similar situation, result of claim and payout will be greatly appreciated. I need to ring them first thing monday, so would be nice to have some info beforehand or if need be bring parts back to stock in time.

thanks in advance!

Since your not at fault the insurance company wont be worried about your car and its mods as they will be sending the repair bill to the woman and it wont cost them money. If you were at fault thats another story

hi, thanks for the response.

Her insurance company will actually be paying for it, as she has made the claim already and paid the excess.

So what im basically worried about is, if Her insurance company will try to deny a payout.

Since I am on 3rd party insurance, my insr. company will not act on my behalf, if that is where your confused.

    • This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.
    • That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.
    • Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
    • Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.
    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
