This is taking forever! When i asked RACV how long she has to get her car assessed and pay her excess they said about 2 weeks.. Its been about that now i called her up she said she took it in to be assessed but isnt actually getting it fixed until End of June/Early July because she cant be without a car for 3 days.. This shouldnt have anything to do with me. I asked if she fax'ed the assessment through, she said nah.. im waiting on the paperwork to pay the excess.. I told her give them a call tomorrow and tell them u got the assessment and pay the excess over the phone because i need my car fixed asap.

Turning into a pain in the ass now i'll see what she has to say when she calls me back tomorrow.. If i dont like ill call up RACV tuesday and see whats up.

Meanwhile i just paid for my Vertex kit for $800.. Subtract the $704 cheque ill get.. I get a full body kit for $96! Gotta love insurance (when its not your fault!) :down: Oh and ive just gone and paid for 3rd party fire/theft insurance from justcars $663 with excess of $1900 :down: .. Backup plan just incase i accidently smash a mercedes or something

Get insurance... otherwise ask them to settle private.

Ive got insurance now.. Cant tell them to chase the money up now after its already happened when i was uninsured.. so hopefully RACV stop's being so slack and asks her for the money and it all works out.. I think i'll call them tomorrow and say its been 2 weeks wheres my cheque u havent sent any paperwork do your job!

Ahhh some great news =]

Called up RACV and told them how she's been and got her car assessed etc.. They said yep shes fulfilled her policy we'll send you the cheque today for $852..

So not only do i get my cheque this week.. They've mixed something up and are sending me the amount of the more expensive quote instead of the $704 quote!

Got my new replacement Vertex kit today from DMD =]

Anyone have a guide on how to install it? Like everything to take off exactly what to do etc.. Or so it simply fit it up, drill holes where needed and just screw it on? I would have no clue about sideskirts and rear bar.. Been looking for a guide havent been able to find one..

Thanks

The other party is requesting two quotes from me and send it to them. I think they're going to send RACV those quotes. Just not sure if it would work the same way, as in RACV contacts me for the payment instead of the panel beater to negotiate or something.

Ask them to lodge a claim with RACV then give you the claim number. RACV are the ones you send the quotes to. They have to get their own car assessed but thats a different story. The repairs might be cheaper then their excess so maybe thats why their asking for the quotes. Call RACV and give the claim number and say you got 2 quotes where do i fax it to and they'll tell u.. Then fax it through then ring the next day or something and they'll most probably say they'd send you a cheque for the cheaper quote as soon as their client pays their excess.. Unless its a cheap repair then they might pay for the repairs.

This was the situation with me so im not sure if its always the same but if it is then this is the way to go to get paid as fast as possible.

Good luck with everything man..

thanks for the explanation.. I will send them a copy of the quotes so they can decide to lodge a claim and keep a copy for myself then.. so I can send it to RACV later. Cause at the moment, they refuse to lodge a claim without seeing the quotes even after I told them how much the quote was. It's good that yours worked out.. so hopefully it will for me too. :)

I was rear ended a few months ago and the guy was also very un co operative

My quote was $4600.. the guy wasn't avoiding me, he just was very slow on making the insurance claim to his company,

I know how its very frustrating.

At least its a win win. $100 to your next mod.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
