Crashed skyline r33 :(

[93R33gtst]

Hey guys smashed a kangaroo and a small tree last night does anyone know of any reputable smash repairers on the south coast.... first time ever making a claim and im scared I ts going to be written off FML

[Coullsy]

by the looks of the photo the bar and the guard are the extent of the damage, id hit up the wreckers and try and find replacements in the same colour, would be cheaper to buy the parts secondhand than it would be for your excess.

Yeah that doesn't look too bad - m-spec front bar and FR guard. Probably won't get a colour match but shouldn't set you back more than 600 I'd think? Guards are usually 100 or so and I got a full mspec kit for 600 (inc skirts and pods).

Any damage to bonnet or reo bar?

How south coast are we talking?

[93R33gtst]

Im not sure how to check reo. Tiny amount of damage to bonnet

[oweban]

Ah whoops I'm thinking of the wrong thing - pop the bonnet, does much look bent out of place?

I should dig up the photos of my stack like 9 years ago hah, bloody highway at APR

That won't get written off mate.

@gymkana i hope not coz these days with insurance il be driving a peice of shit with my pay out

[oweban]

If you wanna try it on the cheap - find a new guard (Facebook groups seem to be the way these days), and cabletie the shit out of that front bar - problem solved!

@93R33gtst really?, if that's the case you must be waaaay under insured.

[93R33gtst]

@coullsy i could only get cover to 7,540 which is a massive kick in the dick

[Coullsy]

it is considering mine is insured for $15k

who are you insured with?

[oweban]

Okay yeah - home jobbie with new guard and cable ties - "drift" damage street cred. Should be $200 tops

[oweban]

Thanks man so i take it thats where i stuffed up i knew i should have hunted around for an insurance company... the douche my car is going said he thinks the cars too old and he said himself he would advise it being a write off but i thought it was all up to the assessor ikr man this thing is my pride and joy id prefer to keep her then get a pay out

Pity they're in SA - but yeah, keep an eye out for a replacement guard and just swap it over. Save cash for getting a new bar eventually - lots of r33s have some form of front bar damage

[oweban]

Also japsportspares, sss automotive, skylinespares, etc - worth emailing and sending a pic to see if they have a guard in that colour.

as @oweban said, once fixed, insure with shannons

Definately .... marjor learning curve

I have a WGNC34 Stagea 269RS with Lumley Classic Car insurance agreed value 25K. Most other places were stupid prices, I even have windscreen and glass with NO excess. I'd try them or Shannons & don't wait for your policy to run out get a refund ASAP.
