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 .

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
