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

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
