SOLD

My rather sad looking R33 is now for sale. It is currently being held by my insurance company, and they have given me 3 weeks to decide whether I want to buy it back or not.

I will not separate for parts - the buyer takes all.

Details:

- Silver

- ~108,000km

- S1

- Stock ECU

- R34 side mount intercooler

- 3" turbo back exhaust (split front + hiflow cat from batmbl group buy)

- Stock airbox

- Flashpoint alarm with two remotes

Stuff I know is damaged:

- Front bar toast, sideskirts, bonnet, roof, some other panels toward front of car

- Front right wheel is up against it's rear guard, so something's bent in there

- Lots of panels are scratched but some may come out

- Airbag went off

- Middle rear vision

- Some damage under the car but I didn't get under it so I don't know how bad

- Probably more stuff that I don't recall right now

Stuff that is (most likely) still good:

- Engine - it starts and sounds fine

- Interior stuff like trim, seats

- Windows, none of them broken, didn't notice any cracks

- Maybe exhaust

- R34 wheels, rears are still good, dunno if fronts were damaged in the impact

- Brand new Toyo T1R's on the rears, only done ~500km

- Probably heaps more stuff I don't recall

Anyway that's a start, if you have questions regarding whether a part of the car is damaged or not I'll try my best. Note I didn't update the above after adding pics so please see for yourself.

Asking price now $4000, OR $3250 not including R34 SMIC or exhaust (which needs repair anyway). SOLD

Buyer to have the car towed from Milperra, and I would have to be able to come around to remove the SMIC+exhaust.

Call Andrew (after midday) on 0422 951 643 or PM.

Have you taken any pics yet?

I was waiting for some interest. Should have got some pics while the car was local but I hadn't considered selling it.

Bit of a drive now, but if you're interested then I'll go get some pics. If Milperra isn't far for you, you're welcome to come and check it out when I go.

how much for hi flo cat?

Sorry not willing to separate at this stage, don't have time to pull it apart and sell everything. Maybe you can buy it from whoever buys the wreck.

pics plz.? roof kinked..? rails bent?

I'll get out there ASAP and get pics. Now that I know there is interest then it's worth my bother to drive there :(

Do you have the lower control arms? if so are the driver's side front & rear lower control arm in good condition?

if so interested in selling it? if so could you pm me or email me on [email protected]

Sorry I don't even know what control arms are, and I am not separating I am selling the car whole.

well.. looks like your insurace company f*ked u over by using a fork to move it around. i would taken it if the rails hadn't been damaged by the fork.. all i can offer is ..!! i will pm u. haha

are you kidding? that forklift is huge and its lifting it by the rails. the pressure would be distributed all over the rails and it'd be sweet! far more likely to have damage under a car from someone changing a tyre, putting all the pressure into one spot

In case anyone wants to know... rail was bent by the accident. The car's still straight.

Price drop to $4500 as it seems this rail damage drops the value a lot... still worth heaps more than that for parts!

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
