god damn ... my poor n/a gts ....

everybody is ok ....

corner wasnt marked ..hit a guard rail at around 30odd km/hr head on ..well ...maybe at a 20 degree angle... front of car looks pretty rooted ...she still runs, i drove her out of the middle of the road...

from what i saw it needs:

radiator

front bar

binker set

headlights

bonnet

front d/s quater panel

new tyres

suspension work

steering arm was pretty skrewed too.

front drivers side wheel was up against the firewall..

have i missed anything?

prob stuffed up sumthin else on the inside...but thats bout it

The towie told me it would be upwards of 12gs to get it fixed (this is him quoting in the dark from what he saw..anybody want to price it up for me from the above information?)

Its insured for $14000 with justcar .... just wondering if that sounds like a writeoff or not? ...id really like to keep it.

Has anybody had similar experiences? if so would you care to share?

Just when i was going to get engine work and new shoes for her...ugh .... oh yeah..i wont be able to pay for anything till i get my credit card back too ...figured out i lost it yesterday because my wallets falling apart ..

maybe its a sign telling me not to have anything done to the car...?? ...maybe its a sign telling me im not supposed to have it? ...

ARRRGH!!!,......y do u feel so shit after accidents!

good to hear your ok dude.

i doubt it'd be a write off but you could probably get a panel beater to over price the parts and panels (go somewhere thats notoriously expensive like queen st. smash)

if you're handy with tools you could probably repair it yourself. so get a quote, get them to write you a cheque, and then dont go back to the place, just buy the parts and do it yourself. you'll make a fair amount of $$.

but you wont have any kind of warranty if you decide to do that.

it doesnt look to bad, it wouldnt be a write off, but seeing they go by new parts and its only insured for 14k then it may be a problem. just go to the wreckers source second hand parts, i saw someone on the forums in the for sale section is selling a series 2 front end in white, that is you SOLUTION!!

Your insurer will either repair the car or write it off . If they write it off they will pay you the sum insured ( if its agreed value ) less any excess.

If they deside to repair it they will pay the repairer NOT you .

If they deside to write it off you can make them an offer to buy it or go to the auction and bid on it , if you are the highest bidder its yours .

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
