**** it man.

These people are obviously pricks. And **** your insurance company too. In the past my insurance company has recorded my not at fault accidents and it's backfired on me. Best to not report it at all.

Time to get nasty. Talk to your lawyer. Sue these bumholes for full cost + inconvenience. I get upset by their intention to make it 50/50 when it clearly was not your fault. It is obvious that the impact speed was something high too! (40+)

if im not mistaken, servo's have videocams actively filming the pumps incase you do not run away frm paying the bill...=).

in dat event, they should actually have a record your car there and it being smashed in by that *uc*.

nevertheless, consult insurance specialist lawyers, they will work for no fee...not directly of course.

no fee meaning if they see you have a strong case, n yr insurance doesnt wanna pay, they will take on your case for no fee...if they win, they get 30% of damages or something and if they dont win, nthin...

i guess its better than havin to pay for e repairs 50/50. if ure gonna haf to pay might as well go all arms lenght out to get yr money back...

n ud think we paid the premium for a reason...dang..;P

All is good, my Insurance Co has waived all excess etc, and the car is being fixed atm.

Cams at the servo were not filming at the time of the impact, BUT I have the consloe operator as a witness and another independent witness so my insurance co had no way accuse me of any portion of fault!

I should be back on the road on Friday, just in time for a dyno day in Brisbane!!! But knowing my luck, it will be another week...

      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?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Evening all. Got this odd issue with my R34 GTT. If I let the car idle for around 15 seconds or more (even when cold) and I jab the throttle a bit, a decently sized plume of blue/grey smoke comes out the exhaust. Doesn't smoke when idling alone, just when giving it some gas after idling. No smoke on cold start or from what I know, normal driving. Not 100% sure about smoke on decel but I don't think there's any. Any pointers on what I should start doing to troubleshoot it? Or if anyone has experienced the same I'd love to get some insight. Cheers.
