Damo, how long have you been selling those drifteks for now?

Must be going into the years now!

[Damo_R34]

on and off for a few months. heaps wanna sell them, do not want/need.

[RubyRS4]

the police report linked the number plate to an "unknown driver". When they called him, he denied any liability.

/insurance claim

Did your insurer keep pressing the police for followup? I'm guessing "unknown" driver means the car is registered under two names, and no one was owning up who was driving at the time?

quoted around 400ish, depending on how bad it is, to have it stripped, fixed and re-painted. i paid less for the front bar when i bought it. my excess is $2550, so i told them politely that there is no way on God's green earth that ill be paying that.

I'd say a few hundred dollars to fix versus paying a massive excess + increased premium for the next 3-5 years

[Damo_R34]

[jenkies]

possibly, depends on the future path of the R.

moreso want to get back into having fun goin slow... = 4wd and mad scrub. wanna start heading up north again.. good cheap fun.

want a less lairy daily driver aswell (althought depends on the lift and tires oh and what turbo, turbo diesel ftw)... the vl will cost a fair bit to get up to spec again

can hav a look around for ya dude

here's a good source of info too: patrol4x4.com

One thing ive learnt / read, stay away from the RB30S (carby) and TB42 (injected) petrol motors, they drink juice and do headgaskets something chronic. oh, and the ZD30 3.0 GU motor too, they're nicknamed the hand grenade

[Damo_R34]

i can see Jenkies ending up putting a 25 or 1j in a patrol with a lift kit and Mickey Thompsons, right?

[craig R33]
