Here is the story,

I parked my car in my garage, I closed the garage door and didn't take my car out for five days. When I opened the garage again a cat ran out and the place smelled of you could imagine. The car was locked up but I left the sunroof open a wee bit and the sucker got in and clawed my seats during the five days ( Can't beleive the sucker lived for 5 days no food or water ?!) I found the owner of the cat ( die cat die ) and she said she can't afford to pay for the repairs.

This is a little hard when she is paying a mortgage by herself and with two little ones ( Her Ex is an absolute asshat ). I am sort of stuck with my morals because i know she doing it tough and is a stand up classi chick ..but hell ! my interior which was perfect for a ten year old car is now a little shabby. There was not a mark on the seats before, they were new ! Can I claim on Insurance maybe ??? any ideas, she tells me she can pay me $20 a week but I can imagine that will die off over time.

Advice no flames plz :D

are all ur seats fked?? ie: front and rear? There was a guy selling front n rear 34 seats on the forum no so long ago for not very much...Insurance would probably cover it but the excess would probably be more than 2nd hand seats..

aww man i feel for ya thats a real pain in the ass...... but i would arrange weekly special survices with happy endings from her. bad joke sorry dude. hope u manage to sort something out.

good luck

Good on her but special cuddles with a whale is out of the question. :D

Actually thats pretty rude coming from me but yeah, sexual interaction would cost atleast 12 beers and some peer pressure before I would pass a move on this one. :(

hehe hug the owners brains out

post up pics of the damage. You could explain the situation to the insurance company and see how it goes? Bit hard, but you did the right thing by sticking to your morals (atleast if she was nice about it and explained properly rather than just an abrupt "i cant pay!! now f off!!")

Yep, she knows how I am about my Cars, this is a good street with good neighbours thankfully, she just can't afford a full payout, so I am thinking insurance, anyone here in the insurance game ?

I am full comp and never made a claim after 17 years of driving and full comp insurance. A claim cost me $350 but I don't have rating 1 protection insurance ( that sh1t you never think you need for an extra $35 a year ).

any chance you could do a bit of a seating upgrade if your going thru insurance maybe get some reciepts for bride seats?

just a thought good luck

The thought crossed my mind but it all comes down to cash ! My car as good as it is, is not a GTR but a nice car all the same and I do not wont it to look something it isn't . even though it is only a Gtt I worked hard for her and paid cash on the day and took me a long time to find one this good. So yeah I have thought of it but I want to keep her as unmodified as possible. Big downer for me atm. Thanks for the input anyway bud. :D

Will get some pics going soon , the drivers seat the worst.

Yeah back seats have loops pulled thru from the suckers claws. I will take pics soon.

I freak when there is a spot on the paint work so you could imagine how I am... lol :D

man shit i am sorry to hear that, i would be tryin insurance first, then if that fails try to get some new seats...or maybe look at retrimming...though i hear that costs a bit.

you be the bad ass and sue her but she sounds like a nice neighbour so prob not a good idea.

Sorry to hear.

Amazed it lived actually.

It must have gone in after a few days. not the whole 5 days.

I've got a complete set if your interested.

$500 cash. and i'm in QLD :) about 45mins from Burleigh :banana::(

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
