ok i have recently crahed my r32 Gts-t and wondered what my options are and what people are willing to offer. this is definately not certain as im hoping it is not a write off. basically i went over a small wall and f**ked my front left up. suspension is f**ked and the top of the chassis rail is grinded a bit. not sure if there is any other damage.

so yeh what would u think it is worth as a package, and how much could i make in sell the wreck it and sell off parts?

need to know my options.

cheers

Oi that has to suck buddy.

I hope it is repairable as i dont like seeing a fellow 4 dr owner upset of having an accident in their beloved car. Especially a R32 4 dr.

I would consider selling parts maybe. If its a write off that is.

If not and u can afford to repair go that option

yeh pretty shitty, saved up since i was 12 to have it writin off a few months after buying it :P

owell what can u do, hopefully its not much to repair and i can keep it. if not here comes a R32 GTE or GTS with a RB25 lurking, lol.

yeh i went there today to ask to clean them up. he was heaps chilled today and said he'd do them but id still get the bill for the wall and letterbox.

anyways here's the pics:

PICS

barely any damage sustained to other side, even the front bumper was in good nick on that side until i ripped it off

see the top of the chassis, little bit grinded up

rest of the car is in good nick

CrashCar4.jpg

see other side has been left untouched

CrashCar5.jpg

suspension's f**ked, well most of it, springs seem to be untouched

looking at the damagte mate it wouldnt be alot to fix, all pannels etc are in good nick and it just looks like control arms, sterring rack, cooler as long as no damage to rails or much to the radiator support you could do most of it your self. radiator support looks to be hit but if you pulled the panels of alot of skylines you would see similar damage. start looking round for parts from your wreckers. keep it and fix it wont cost ya much

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
