yeah damage looks fixable...but glad u walked away from it without a scratch...

But it still needs to be said...if you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford the car....nuffsaid!

What if your gf hit another car in the process?? a merc, beemer or porsche???....tht kinda debt could send you broke for life! have a think bout it....

dude I'll give you $1k for that no worries :)

I see a new contender for the "it'll buff right out award!".. (if only you were a paid member!)

Good to hear you're both alright, and it could have been worse, you could have written off a $50k+ car on your way past..

edit: ni5mo! jinx :)

i dont know much about panel beating or replacment of panels

is anyone on here a panel beater or could anyone recommend me to a panel beater in melbourne.

il post some more pics of the car, like i said im no expert but seriously the car is pretty f**ked

i payed $12,000 for it in may so if 7-9 grand coverd the work i might consider just so i could sell it and then get something else.

im guessing it would need to be panel beated, and a respray also the windscreen replaced and suspension is f**ked, also 2 tyres are gone, oh shit now that i think about it.....im screwd its gone

just car's online quote system is shite... i was quoted over 4 grand for comprehensive for a r34 gt-t but when i called up and talked to a salesperson i was quoted at 2300. I think they quote high to be on the safe side for them. Probably scares lots of potential customers.

sucks to hear man... BUT cars can be replaced lives cant, at least you and your gf are alright.

and $3000 for a non turbo? :/

im 17, had a crash, a speeding fine, and its just over 2000 for an R32 GTR :P:rofl:

search around.... and next time, dont buy a car if you cant afford to maintain it, eg. insurance.

hope stuff starts to look up for ya though

i'm just glad you and your g/f are okay, it could have been alot worse...

at the end of the day, cars are replaceable... you and her aren't...

i say keep the wreck, and part out as much as you can, and then take the rest to either a wreckers, or simsmetal... at least that way you'll get a bit of money back (maybe 3 - 5k?)

Well depends... if the engine is still good they MAY consider fixing it. I remember few years ago I was hit from behind by a P plater doing around 90 KM/H on Maroondah Fwy (I stopped in time before the lights went red but he decided its ok to go through red and smash into me) I was in a VS Commodore wagon and the back was smashed pretty bad. The roof crumbled up in the back but otherwise the car was OK. We had a newly rebuilt engine. The RACV guys said cos the engine is "new" they will fix it... otherwise would of been a write off.

nagh!!! that's dead that car.

1. You have to catalog what useful secondhand part's right down to the scrap metal for the car you have and move them on Or

2. sell it as a complete wreck which will save you the headache of dealing parts :( and start a new strategy to get mobile again.

A car rolled like that with its crumple zones affected will only really be repaired if its a rarer type and the owner has no other options but to pay way more than its all worth to keep its identity.

Glad you and your le'fem are ok and dont worry plenty of others have have been in this situation

Well, I think a few lessons can be learned here:

1) get insurance

2) include the price of great tyres in the cost of the car.

3) don't let someone drive the car for the first time in the wet on the freeway. Especially if that person is used to driving something like a toyota echo where they have to plant it to accelerate to 100.

At least you are all OK. I know it really sucks, but you should be able to get some part dollars back.

bad luck..

everyone remember with insurance it takes into account a number of things - with the main ones being location and driving experience (you can be 60 on your red p's.. it'll cost you alot).. so unless you live next door to each other it's hard to compare insurance costs I reckon..

Good luck with getting some money out of it!!..

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
