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

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
