haven't tried starting the car, the fan has been bent, and as you can see the front section has been wiped out.

i got a rough quote, and i'm better off just selling the car and cutting my losses.

i'll take more detailed pictures of the engine bay later this week, still waiting for the mechanic to have a look at the engine and see if anything other than the fan has been damaged, although the initial diagnosis by the panel beater is that the driveline is still fine.

will definately post an update on the mechanical situation.

yes, the airbag is still in, the interior is completely untouched. n

What was the rough quote? Year and kms? Modifications? Location?

Cheers.

PS. Bad luck. Sorry for the loss.

Sorry, need to know more information about the engine before purchase. If you get around to it, see what has happend to the water pump.

Engine is unusable if its pushed the water pump back causing the engine to crack.

Thanks

from looking atone of the pics, the viscous hub has been bent, and if that has transfereed to the water pump, then there might be a problem.

If you can, remove fan and shrud and spin the pump and see if is spins freely or if there's interference

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
