Hey all,

I had a minor accident earlier this week. Basically got hit side on by another car and now I need to get some quotes to fix my baby. Ive been to m & c doyles and provident crash - for my non aami approved quoted. But now I need to get a quote from a aami-approved crash repairer. Does anyone know any they've either been to or recommend to fix imports. Hope it goes my way but if it doesnt I want a good aami-approved repairer. I've got till monday arvo before the assessment.

Any help appreciated,

Nozila

Im assuming you with Just Cars? Under written by AAMI aren't they?

A freidn of mine recently had a prang in his 33 GTR, they refused to let him choose his repairer but he insisted he get a quote from Doyle's off his own back, price ended up coming back better than their own so they went with Doyles.

I know it doesn't answer your question but something to keep in mind when you go to put it in to get repaired.

Doyles will deff take care with it... Your post makes it seem like your not interested in them one bit.

Thats right, underwritten by aami. I have 2 options...

1/take it to their assessment centre and just let me take care of it

2/get two quotes of my own - one being a aami approved repairer and non aami approved

I went with number 2. So Ive already got quotes for who i want to go to (doyles or provident). Now I need a aami approved quote which I hope will be more then the non aami approved quotes. But if it isnt, then I want to find a good one. Does that make sense?

Shop around with quote until you get one that is higher than the Doyle or Provident one.

I know it would be alot os assing around but in the long run your car will be at someone that will take care of your car.

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Ok, can confirm.  if you use it like a normal human being in the real world, it works fine.  it only starts crossing wires if I keep using the fob over and over again in a very short period. So if I just chill the f**k out, it works 😂😂

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By crustycereal · Posted

      Im about to run a e30 mix of e85 and 98ron but i read that australian fuels specifically 98ron doesnt contain ethanol so on the calculator when it says pump ethanol percentage do i just put 0 or is this statement even true? And if it is true i assume i dont need to test any 98ron pumps.

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So... the fob I had for my Skyline always had this issue where the "Unlock" button worked with no issues but the "Lock" button did nothing (and I always had to lock with the key) I thought I'd try resetting and pairing the key to the car today to see if that fixes the issue. I did the standard steps to program a key but realised my central locking was doing its own thing from time to time. 1st time: The driver-side doors would not lock or unlock when using the fob. No issues with the key. I figured it was the right time to change the battery in the fob so decided to go get one. When I went to the shop all doors locked and unlocked with the fob (while it had the old battery 🙃)   2nd time: When I locked the car, it would lock itself and immediately unlock. If I unlocked it, it would unlock and immediately lock.   3rd time:  After a bit of cursing and praying, that weird bug stopped. But then the rear passenger door started being a pain. It wouldn't really follow what the fob was asking it to do. Sometimes even using the key would not do what I wanted. So I'd lock the car with the key and all doors would lock, but the rear passenger lock didn't do anything at all. And then after a few moments, it would work again.   Is there a fuse that I should be looking at? or, is this one of those things where the door card needs to come off and some unit needs to be replaced? It just seems to happen from time to time and if I give her some space and come back later, there are no issues  🤦‍♂️ Also, should I try to program the fob again to the car just to see if that solves it?

      One would assume a turbo is somewhere in its future down the line given they slap turbos on pretty much everything that arrives

      I’m guess it’ll end up with a turbo
