My Baby's Going To The Scrapheap.

[RandomHero83]

Well it was a good run, Yesterday at 10:00am I was rear ended at a set of lights outside the kedron park hotel as I gave way to an ambulance. an old man in a bloody XF wagon wasn't paying attention and caved the arse of my R33 GTS-T in on it'self. ambos saw the whole thing and I am waiting for my insurer to tell me what the go is but so far from what I was told on the scene and by mechanics she's a write off. as some of you may know i have been trying to kit her out for some time now and She was just starting to run the way I wanted her to. I could get 600k's out of a tank if i drover her conservatively or 300k's if i thrashed it. If this is the end of my line (no pun intended ) then i think i will purchase either a soarer or a sil this time round. so thanks for the quallity community and the advice from those who helped me out. (you know who you are)

I'll update as i know the final verdict.

Man that sucks. I've had almost he same thing happen to me. I was stopped at a set of light and then bang. This older guy ran straight into the back of me. The impact was so hard it tore the sheet metal in the boot. I could put my hand through it. The car was written off from that.

Hope you get it sorted out quickly.

Sorry to hear! Only ever seems to happen to people who want to keep their cars!

I kinda want somthing like this to happen to mine as it is worth more to me crashed that if i were to sell it! Crazy world

Dude that sucks so bad. I'd cry if that happened to me, i've spent a lot more money on my car than what insurance covers me for. I hate old people, they never pay attention, they generally drive 10km/hr under the speed limit and are dickheads.

[33driver]

Damn, sorry to here about the car dude, I work at emergency services just down the road where the crash happened, if i'd know it was a skyline i would have been straight out to help/smack the guy down!

take the payout, buy it back and transplant the good bits to the sil your speaking of...

[Rhinorebel]

Yeah, see what the insurer wants for the wreck and get a group buy together to pay for it. There is so much stuff that will be wasted if it is crushed!!!!

Not a bad idea. I heard from the insurance company. they are trying to work out if they are gonna fix it, they are trying to quote up costs atm to see if she can be repaired. I am trying to work out how much repir will cost and how much the wreck is worth. does anyone know how much a respray alone is worth? let alonehow much a wreck is worth? trying to do some calculations myself to see what it'd cost to see if it is repirable.

good paint job top down $3.5k

it all depends on how much prep is needed and if your changing colours etc...

[RandomHero83]

It's official she's a write off. The assesor from NRMA sounded genuinly upset by the announcement so I am happy to see that even in the insurance companies there are line lovers. waiting on the final figure for the payout atm.

[neo32]

how u get the nrma to insure it?

[kateB324R]

sorry to here mate!

got any pics of the damage?

[Rhinorebel]

And how much do they want for the wreck???

[RandomHero83]

I don't know why but yeah NRMA not only insured her but have had the best service i have ever seen in regards to an insurance company. they have had the whole thing sorted in 1 week. (RACQ took 8 weeks for my missuses lancer) and kept me in the loop the whole time. I am now purchasing a 300zx in imaculate condition. so sorry lads i'll be crusing in another branch of the nissan family nowdays. I guess i'll have to jump ship to the 300zx forums now. what can i say it's been an experiance to own and drive a skyline they really are a must own car, I think i mentioned it earlier but i'll say it again thanks to all the people here who helped me with my queries and for the support through the loss of my baby.

take it easy guys, may the asphalt beneath your tyres always be smooth and the roads ever winding.
