R33line, $9K damage? must be alot worse than it looks. have you had any luck with the council yet etc?

That was a rough quote, should get the final one in the next few days..

Bent the chasi a little, and from the radiator forward needs to be replaced. (headlights are $500 each)

Most of the quote is labour and they know i'm going through the council so they will drag as much fom the government as possible, not to menchion i asked for a couple of extras including a cf bonnet and the choice of a front bar, and don't forget the front mount........ screw the RTA they can compensate for my loss...

not to mention the mental damage from seing it in a mess

:yes:

Its irelivent as you don't have insurance. If you had insurance and the cost of the repairs are worth more than the car its then considered a write-off. In your case... The car has to be fixed or your in trouble as the car loan requires you to have full comp insurance.

I was told by my insurance company these cars don't have a market value and they need to be inspected individually.

Was good meeting you out at the supersprint at Bathurst.

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By SeanR32GtSt · Posted

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.

      Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
