That's gotta suck. Oh well I guess next time you will probably think twice before pushing in the rain.....

It all depends what you really want. It will cost a bit to fix if your not insured. depends if you really like that car and want to hang on to it or if it is time to move onto something else. ultimately the decision is yours.

you'd make more by stripping it down for parts than selling as whole, but this can be time consuming to do, if you repair it will obviously need a cut/shut on atleast the right rail/skirt and rad support, though the left also looks damaged, if the chassis behind the firewall is also damaged I wouldn't even bother with fixing

on another note if you sell parts I'd be interested in front/rear brakes

Hi People

Just an update!

I am looking today to get prices of either to wreck or repair, heading towards a wreck, noticed a few people interested in certain things, this process may be time consuming but ill do my best. everything i decide to sell will be in condidtion it was before the crash, i wont sell fudged parts. ill be back on SAU tonight hopefully with more concrete info.

Thankyou for your thoughts so far, greatly appreciated so far

My Baby!! :down:

hello again people

well today a wreckers gave me a rough quote without looking at the car roughly $4000 the lot, i am waiting on another quote but heading towards being happy with taking anything around the $4000 to $5000 mark hopefully. paid all up around the $26000 in total so its kinda hurting alot. but if anyone came up with those figures well? for those interested in parts the final decision will be made tomorrow as the other wreckers may not be able to come out till tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
