dang bad luck......gotta be careful around exam times man....i dont think i ever went in the skyline during exams unless i had good sleep (99% of the time, I was living on coffee)

sux2b the other guy too

but as the others said, main thing is no one was hurt

that audi isn't a write off.

the insurance coy may just give him a new one b/c it is so new...

but that car will end up at pickles or manheim fowles...

chassis doesn't look bent on the TT so it will be repairable.

Sorry to hear and main thing is you are OK. The damage to the Audi doesnt look that costly or like it could have affected it too badly structually. Is it worse than it looks?

At least you had 3rd party insurance too

yeah its worse then it looks in that pic.

anyway

good news

i had a mechanic/panel beater for the HRT v8 supercar team and he said what needs fixing

new radiator

air conditioning

airbags replaced

windscreen

all the front body work

and a bonnet

anyone recommend some good places in melbourne to do this work, preferably one that specialisez in imports and has easy access to parts?

edit: ps. i understand that people may not be able to recomend/slam business on a public forum. so maybey a quiet email/pm

ye the last thing id want after buying a brand new Audi is for some1 to hit it then getting it back repaired, id want a new one too if ive forked out that much money.

Mate I know exactly where that is. When I was young and dumb i used to give that corner a little clutch dip every now and then on my way home from work. That was untill the cops and residents figured out what time I did it on certian nights and I got a serious warning. Im sure you wernt doing anything that silly. All the best with the repairs.

Ahhh so that was you... my mate told me about this on Saturday night, he saw the aftermath just after it happened.

You're a De La boy then?

yeah de la boy. there is still some bits of my grill at the scene :'(

thanks for all the tips. im gonna start doing some calling next week.

every time i decide its not worth it to get it fixed i have a look at it outside my house and change my mind

from looking at ur second shot, seams like the reo has been chopped, maybe in japan, if thats the case you'll have a tuff time getting insurance to pay you out. they'll claim that the cut out caused a laxk of structural strength and void ur insurance.

Looks like a standard series 2 reo to me. they are a bit thinner than the series 1's

    • Just wait until R31s catch the contagion.
    • As you can tell from updates....I haven't had a lot of shed time lately. When I'm on this though, I feel like I'm reliving Neil's last days. Everywhere I go on the car I seem to come across something he was working out. When I went up to his place just after he passed, I noticed he had a RB starter motor in the vice. And sure enough, this was my shed today So, last episode I mentioned the battery had 12.4ish volts but when I turn on the kill switch it drops to 9ish volts. Even with the stater main power removed, same. Matt said above: And yep, when I removed the solenoid power from the starter, the voltage jumped from 9 back to 11.7ish. Thus my testing the spare starter this arvo. Spare is good to go, just need to throw it in tomorrow. I'm not convinced that is the only issue as the voltage still drops from 12.4 to 11.7 when I turn the kill switch on, but first things first
    • Dont disrespect family, otherwise swat will you know... Yeh i still cant wrap my head around 180's going for $50k plus, i still only see them as $3,000 beaters that only broke uni students used to drive
    • Absolutely. R34 Sedans with V8's in them are the peak of the platform and should be priced accordingly. Get with the times, people. It's Brian O'Connor + Dom Torreto + FAMILY all in one.
