Had An Accident Today - No Insurance

[Equilibrise]

Hi guys. Bad news for me. I turned across 2 lanes of stopped traffic and just as I began to cross the 3rd a motorcyclist came into view. It was too late to stop so I punched it to try to miss him and due to the rain he couldn't stop in time and slammed into my rear 1/4 panel. I was meant to insure when I registered the car at christmas time, but due to the mad rush of the time of year, it passed my mind. Unfortunately, I am just remembering now...when I need it. So I guess I'm left to do the repairs myself. I've done a bit of searching for parts, but it is proving quite difficult. Anyone know where I could source a rear bar and AR-X flares (among other things). Anybody know good yet lower cost repairers in Sydney. I'll probably give it a hit doing a large amount of the work myself as I gotta keep cost low as poss seeing that I gotta pay for somebodies bike aswell.

And how is the motorcyclist you hit?

Alive, able to walk, in pain?

Yes what happened to the bike rider??

Sucks about the car though, once fixed please get insurance. Never know when youll need it.

Hope you can afford to fix him and his bike first before you fix your car.

[Chris Rogers]

that is a rear quarter panel at a start. parts are easy via nissan local. if your local dealer won't help I can put you in touch with one that will or I can help you myself.

rear bumper is fine. that will heat and repair easily.

radio is fixed btw.

Have you looked on Yahoo Japan? Pretty sure I saw one on Monday.

Maybe get one ordered from Dolphin if you like the kit? I'm pretty sure they'd have a Dolphin front bar...

been e-mailing dolphin japan and brother inlaw as well (works @ just jap) and had no reply =(, but yahoo japan i'll have to check that out.

at the end of the day its a daily driver and i'm not real keen on big body kits i'd rather factory kits, thats y its sat in the garage for bout 6months

but it'd be happy to let it go as i'd rather the cash to go towards coil overs

[bigkevracer]

I emailed Dolphin, no reply. I got Jesse Streeter to get in touch with them for me and got a reply within a day or so.

That said, the bonnets are discontinued, not sure if the other body parts they did are also discontinued? Worth checking out.

[Stooge007]

did the police attend the scene?

sounds like the accident could have been A LOT worse

any damage to the rear door?

[zei20l]

looks like only the quarter was affected, maybe some of the stuff behind the panel, there isnt much space in there

this is why you should at LEAST put 3rd party insurance on a car, what if you hit a $600,000 ferrari? youd have to leave the country lol

[Equilibrise]

ha. Yea i.de have to leave on a boat. I applied online for justcar insurance today. Waiting for them to get back to me. Yes the police came. Only took them 5 mins in heavy traffic.

[zei20l]

no insurance company will touch you while the car is damaged. youll need to fix it first before applying.
