Accident: Don't do what I did.... - Page 5 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

this idea of disabling the pop up is one of the most stupid thing i've ever read. It's a safety feature that could save lives. It's nissan's problem to get it replaced for a fair price.

You volunteering to pay for the repair work in the meantime then I assume?

I'm of the unusual opinion that a pedestrian hit by a car on the roads generally shouldn't be walking about in the road.

_shaun_ · 13th November 2009, 01:22 PM

Do we know who carried out the repairs? Was it an HPC etc???

really? you'd actually sell a great car because of an insurance covered repair bill *if* you hit something? Simple answer is to not hit anything!

The only thing this thread will make me do is leave an extra car length gap in front of me which is only a good thing anyway

That's one of the most immature statements I've ever read on the internet, which takes some doing.

It seems an entirely reasonable statement to me.

You have to say that whether or not the pedestrian-safety system is sensible, a 5mph bumper impact should not under any circumstances result in an £11K repair bill.

Surely Nissan have to do something about this, making parts for the reset far more reasonably priced.

I don't think you'll find this "life saver" on the bulk of cars currently being sold and I bet you had no idea it had it until now! I'm all for safety but I'm not so sure why I should be paying for it!

Wow, Ouch and ****

I drove 150 miles last night in the dark and wet with the nearly now slick Bridgestone tyres and god forbid if I was to even touch a flying or floating leaf!!!

I think it will be the same old story with the R35, either they are in great condition or written off if in a crash and at that ridiculous repair bill I guess there will be a few rite off’s! Spares anyone?

there are gonna be some awesome bargain write offs over the next few year

i'd just argue the bonnets like that to aid cooling

Any ideas why the ECU needed replaced? its not "Mission Impossible" where the ECU self-destructs.

Bajie · 13th November 2009, 03:04 PM

^^^

Further to this Q

I know you got the dealer to collect the car, but did you try to drive it at all, if so, was the car put into "limp" mode by the ecu.
Its really strange and I do feel for you fella. Hope you got the insurance to cover the repair. I would have had to sell my assets, do some moonlighting on a street corner and still probably be 10.5k short ...

Thats the real point of this thread.

I have asked for the final invoice which they are posting out to me. If it helps the club to force Nissan to reduce the prices then that would be fanastic.
