Hi Mitchy

It's so sad to see - that was one awesome ride man.

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, but it's painful to see something like that happen to someones pride and joy. I'm glad you're okay though and I hope your neck heals up fine.

Cheers mate

Iain

f*k!

these sorta things alway happen to good blokes, like everyone else im sorry to hear about it.

all you parts vaulchers lay off! show the bloke some respect and wait till things are advertised (if they ever will be) before you start calling for parts.

how would you feel if your wheels were written off and you got bulk people asking for your ash tray for eg..

oh fug..... it's a sad day for arrh 33.... it feels no love from the insurance company. I wonder .... could you get the pay out, buy ur car back, and work on it to repair or change the shell or something. and still be leftover with $$? maybe you'd lose money that way... hrmmm...

  • 2 weeks later...

well..insurance has given me payout figure, and i have the option to keep the car + lower payout, or just take the money and run.

reallllllly... i dont want to keep the wreck, unless i can be sure im going to get my money back on it, but then im also willing to keep the wreck, if someone wants to buy the whole thing off me (saves you going to auction, and is probably cheaper too)

so if anyone is willing to buy a substantial amount of it off me, or the whole thing, send me a pm, or sms on 0405 908 860.

i'd like to get 6k for the wreck, which i consider to be a bargain considering its got a brand new, freshly rebuilt RB25 in it, plus other suspension goodies, good condition interior, nardi torino steering wheel, etc etc...

i also have my rims, which werent on the car, and a few other bits and pieces i was about to put on the car (new untuned PFC, new p/s pump and bracket, new a/c comp, hoses and bracket, new turbo, cusco front strut brace, plenum, semi slicks.. lots of crap!)

oh yeah.. ive got some plates for sale too. :blink:

how much would you sell the rims for?

and what turbo is it?

actually just get a item and price list up

heres a list of some parts and prices here

dam if i only knew 2 weeks ago i would of bought your car off you :(

damn.. oh well, id like to see someone make use of the brand new RB25 in it.. not go to auction!

Decided to hop back on the forums today after my long absence......... I didn't not expect to read about the 'Mitchy Mobeel's' premature ending...........

Really unfortunate dude....... Only way to look at this is to keep your head up and just start imagining the next beast that you are going to build up!!!!!!!!!

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
