If You Ever Needed A Good Reason To Get Full-comp...


Recommended Posts

Here is a perfect example as to why you want Full Comp insurance:

Myself and Bigbird were on our way to Sandown until the 17yr old unlicenced, uninsured driver of the echo rearranged our day.

We are still waiting to hear if the Bm is written off, which it most likely is, but thankfully insurance is taking care of everything. Still a pain in the ass tho. Although, not nearly as bad as if we didnt have insurance.

Stupid kid, thats a real shame.

How did he manage to do that, U turn straight in front of you guys?

Hope everyone in the car was alright, and that insurance pays out and all works out for the best.

Ive been waiting to see these pics.

Is so true though - insurance protects you from morons, as well as yourself.

Again - glad your both fine, and hey look at it this way, your dad now needs another car, hint at the new GTR >_<(except he might be waiting a while)

haha, yeah right. old man in the new gtr... slight upgrade also...

The shittest thing was that that car was in mint condition. such a nice car all round. we will be finding another one similar if its written off.

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
