*Shrugs* it's an R34 though, I don't know at what limit they'd determine it was a write off

Well it would either be fix it or pay out what you insured that gtr for? Its whatevers cheapest for them?

my car copped 6 grand worth from hitting the famed roo and it was barely noticable and only barely got put off the road

so a writeoff for a 34 would be what, 15?

I'm guessing around that, it would be value - whatever they felt they could get for it at auction

Yes that hurts, one reason i dont do mountain runs with a heap of other cars.

[IanB]

Yeah...

Except it didnt happen on the mountain run, it happend on the way to one of the meetup points. Please get your facts straight, and reply to this with a PM because its best if we dont discuss it here as the mods wont like it.

[ze_flexy_1]

Im glad everything is sorting out man. Nice Pics. you did the right thing in accordance to safety and reaction so no problems around here.

[55yko]

I was at a mates place in the gap, saw some nice big flames !!!!! very nice to see so many nice cars. sorry to hear about the accident i know the feeling.

[m0rt]

Well, thought i might put in an update.

Pulled off the front bar today and the fmic is a write off, it has twisted the core, so time to spend more money again (yay). Have managed to pick up a gtr bar for 200 and a bonnet for 130 so from my end she should be back on the road sooner than i thought :PBJ:

[IanB]

Get a GTR cooler if you can, there pretty good and can be had pretty cheaply.

Pffffft

I paniced a lot from hearing stuff like this on the silvia forums..

I had a 180sx at the time and it got rear ended..

The quotes were around 9,000 to repair it.. my car i bought for 12,000.

Their "GENERAL" rule of thumb is if its more then 50% ( aami anyway) it CAN be a write off.

I showed them receipts for work done to it ( FMIC//exhaust blah blah) and it came up to around 17,000. ( which is still more then 50% damage)

They asked me what i wanted to do and i said repair.. i asked for the cheque and i repaired it myself.

Cost me 5,000 to repair and i got lots of funky stuff done too ( thank goodnes for quoting goons that dont know where to get prices for parts from)

Lots of heartache though..

I had the car for 1 month ( 3 weeks of that was doing the mods in the shop)

Raniny afternoon... i brake to the corner which was 100m from home... big truck didnt stop..

*POW*

I wasnt speeding, the light was red so i was slowing down..

Good thing though was the fact that the dude knew he was in the wrong and was very calm about it and got it resolved within 20 minutes of it happening.. " i just couldnt stop"

So a bad situation become good in the end.

Yours damage doesnt look like anywhere near the problems i had..

Just check under the car as well.. see that the suspension is ok and what not..

I was bloody lucky too since all my damage was pure cosmetic.. ( before i went ahead and gave it to AAMI i gave it to my mechanic and asked him if its worth repairing )
