Yeah not sure where you're all getting the idea that his insurance will fix it and chase it all up etc...That's exactly what third party does not give you..

Third party, you hit someone and are at fault, your insurance fixes their car, you fix your own car. Someone hits you and they're at fault, their insurance handles it all, your insurance has nothing to do with it..

Full comp, call the kunce and tell them to fix everything, now.

Tell this mother f**ker that the damage to his skull was pre existing and not a result of you caving it in with a f**king brick

Uninsured motorist cover

Up to $3000 cover for damage to your car by an uninsured driver

No excess is required for this, but you do need to supply them with the other driver's details so that JCI can recoup their costs.

Similarly, with comprehensive insurance you need to supply the at fault driver's details, else pay your excess and effectively have a claim processed as "at fault", i.e. you might as well have hit a tree with no one else involved.

It's possible this guy has no insurance and is just trying to bargain/scare his way out of a big bill, or his excess is quite high, thus trying to get his mate (lol) to con you into settling for less than his excess. Good luck with it viper - though the chips really are in your hand - welcome to the world of people pawning their problems and responsibility off onto others :/

As per above comment I don't think you have a choice to refuse his insurances assessor / repairer looking at your car and potentially doing the job as it's a claim through his policy not yours. Whoever fixes it should do nothin less than a satisfactory job.

I was hit by a woman who was at fault, got the claim number off her and then told her insurance company I wouldn't go near their preferred repairer douchebags with my 10 foot pole (thanks to VWLBC advice)

Went promptly to Micolour, Mick is sorting it all out for me

have full comp with shannons = car gets hit... take it to uncle mick and walk away knowing it will look better than it did before the hit

speaking to 32GTR owner at sandown on the weekend... neighbours acorns fell on his roof and bonnet leaving marks reminiscent of hail damage. called Shannon's, they pointed him to a respectable panel beater... nek minnit - panel repairs + full respray for cost of excess.

mad jelly.

should have brought to me. did all 16 on micra in about an hour.

gentle love taps with hammer, some washers and an old wheel nut.

much easier than taking hub off to press

Anyone going to the monthly meet in couple of weeks? Can't decide if I should come.

I should be in for that one.

I've got a ball tomorrow night, so cannot sadly. At that point in the night I'm guessing I'll be in a place where, really, I should not have car keys anywhere close to me :P

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
