Oh and wat does it mean when someone says that the car may never be the same again?

Depending on where the damage is and how good the repairers job is your car might not handle the same or may have random shakes, rattles and sqeaks

That would suck if it does have shakes/squeeks or wat not. Argh!!!!!!! Fingers crossed. The Barter Brothers seemed like a really good place so heres hoping they do an awesome job! Saw a skyline there by the way, they said it was just finished being repaired. Might be someones here?

SWEET GEEZUS!!!! crazy, got the quote back.......$9500 for repairs!! so happy im not paying! oh and the frontal damage is around $1500. poor baby. They were saying its alot more damage than they orginally thought. Most of the cost is getting the parts etc.

Jeez, are they getting the parts brand new or something :X

When i was pricing up parts for fixing my 4 door r32 parts were nothing. For 2 doors, front qrt panel and little bits and pieces was nothing over $1000 including shipping. Guessing its all labour costs. Still, your bloody lucky your not paying for it :laugh:

Being that it will probably be paid for by the other parties insurance companies, they will be using genuine brand new parts (hence the cost).

Be prepared to wait for a bit as well, as alot of it wont be stocked in Australia and will need to come from Japan.

Well the insurance blokes i have to go through Alianz, Said their duty is to restore the car to pre-crash condition, so i have no idea. I will call Barter Brothers and ask about the paint. See what you mean though about the pearl. Cheers

They are saying that it might be a right off, i asked them why and they said that because the car is worth 10 grand, the repair will cost 9.5 grand, it isn't worth it and they would prefer to hand me out the money.

I told them that i was hunting for the perfect car for nearly 6 months and never found a cleaner example for as cheap as i got ($13000) in completely stock form manual (1995). Looks like they found some real crummy examples with 50000000000 km's on the clock? wat retards, i couldn't even find a 1995 manual. Closest was a 1996 manual turbo, 5000 more k's than myne, and cost 17000..............Im gonna ask them for at least 14000

okay i now can do my own research to proove this guy wrong. How very wrong he was!!!! Couldn't find a 95 sedan for less than 16000 (found one for 13 but had done 150000k's, had a bigger turbo, lowered etc. So myne would be worth a fair bit more (on the market) So the Insurance guy who is checking it out again tomorrow (the car) will give me a call and ill give him a mouthfull.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
