bonnet is bent, albeit only slighly.

the radiator support is a banana, but managed to not bust the radiator.

if the car was insured it would most certainly be a write off, but as it isnt i have to decide whether it is actually worth the work to fix it....im leaning toward just letting it go and start on the other coupe i have, as it is in better condition than the black one(even before the accicent)

the car isnt really that bad at all, im just not sure i could be bothered.... so if anyone IS interested in it, feel free to contact me.

new guards, bonnet(might be repairable) grill, bumper and headlight surounds would fix it...the radiator support could be pulled back out, it really isnt all that bad...yay for old cars i guess...had it been new it would have been destroyed

So the other drivers car had no brakes lights right, and didnt indicate... so that wouldnt be your fault right? :P

Not good man. But seriously, I reckon you could fix that in about 2hours. AND! Give the car a whole new look in the process, and just bolt on a sigma front end... Sigline! You will be full sick like thorpy, the drifters will love you, cause its old school too yo!

incorrect.... one car in the line up had no tail lights which contributed to the accident, but the 4wd i hit had everything workin fine....problem was he was already braking to stop at the lights, so when he stomped on the brakes harder, nothing changed from where i was sitting other than he got REALLY CLOSE, REALLY FAST, and the poor old r30 brakes are no match for a new cruiser with monster brakes and ABS.

Sorry to see it gone Jason, but not all R30 brakes are small.

This might not be the right time or place but I have 2 x DR30 standard radiators & 3 x thermo fan assemblies to suit, if they are any good to you or anyone else for that matter.

Great price ....... freight costs only.

Cheers.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
