I cant even begin to think how she got there.

The house is like maybe 10-15m down the road from a roundabout. So syhe must have come off the roundabout got the back end out drift style and then swung it round and gone down his driveway.

The other option is that she jumped the curb on the round about, which is huge, and then careened across 2 front lawns before going through ure garage.

Classic old lady styles, she started fumbling for the pedals and maybe mashed the accelerator due to the bumpyness of the ride over the 20cm curb.

Im just trying to get my head around this madness :confused:

Erik - to answer your question - a write off is when the the cost to repair the car is MORE than the value or insured value of the car. An insurance assessor will determine whether it is a write off. I don't think your car is a write off... usually a write off is when the chassis is twisted or something.

Also the insurance repairer will repair your car to manufacturers standards. Because it is an import - this is quite hard. They will find it hard to gets parts... whichs takes time.... you may not end up with the same front bar on it or something. Insurance doesn't care if you have an awesome veilside kit on it (for example)... they will still only repair it to manufacturers standards.

Bug them ? How? I wish I could ,someone from Peter Wilkinson will tow my car tommorow hopefully I can drive my R34 again. One question if after the repair finish then I can see the colour different between the new parts and old parts , can i ask for all repaint?

    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
    • I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....
