Just wondering if anyone knew of a Burgundy R33 with skylinesaustralia.com stickers on that was recently written off?

Nothing on the car that would really stand out body wise but has an after market exhaust and a big fmic, bov, etc.

Also R32 4 door, white, with lots of Driftwa, tenagah, and exedy stickers on it, big fmic and coil overs, had an under bonnet fire.

Just chasing any info on the cars and mods etc

we are getting about 80 wrecks a weeks coming through the gates at work, and these are two that caught my eye.

just curious as to what mods they have and if they are worth bidding on when and if they come up for auction.

we are getting more and more imports/performance cars through now as insurance is writing them off with sometimes only fairly minor damage.

we also have a few wrx's and evo's etc in the yard so if anyone is chasing parts/motors etc let me know and i will give you a heads up when i see them getting ready to be auctioned. you'd be very suprised to see what the average wreck gets sold for here :(

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
