Car accident infomation.

Hi guys I'm trying to find Information regarding this matter but seem to be having no luck on getting a definite answer. 

I wanted to ask if you get into a car accident and you're at fault and you pay for their repairs out of your own pocket but they have notified their insurance company regarding the accident does this still go on your record ? regardless whether you are or you are not paying for their repairs without them having to make a claim against you ? or does it only go on your record when they make a claim against you ? it's all super confusing. 

Only reply if you're 100% sure on this topic, I don't want to get mixed or wrong Information. 

Cheers.

To what "record" are you referring? I was unaware of some sort of database tracking your involvement in accidents other than police reports when filed, or your own insurance company when you make a claim

When you sign up for new insurance or a quote they only ask if you've had any licence suspensions/disqualifications and how many at fault claims you've made in the last 5 years. If your licence is clean and you haven't made a claim then I wouldn't worry about it affecting your insurance.

Did you make a claim with your insurer? If not don't worry about it. Will be on their record not yours

 

Also so birds you can do a Veda search to check ones previous insurance history. Unsure if a normal person can but banks, insurance etc can access it.

 

 

 

That's what I was referring to when you make a claim with your own insurance company and it gets logged.

However, in this age of online quoting, unless recent claims (a common form/algorithm question) prevent you from starting a policy online, your insurance premiums are not likely to be affected otherwise.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
