Sorry to hear about the accident dude...

Least u walked away from it..

I would say that is possibly fixable... depends how much you want to spend though and if its insured..

If u need a good panel beater send me a PM

from looking at ur second shot, seams like the reo has been chopped, maybe in japan, if thats the case you'll have a tuff time getting insurance to pay you out. they'll claim that the cut out caused a laxk of structural strength and void ur insurance.

ouch sorry to hear and see that one dude...However a decent panel shop will make short work out of that one...once all the damaged panels come off they can start work straightening it all out...you would be hard pressed to know if it ever had a hit.front enders are always more favourable than rear enders...chassis always twists in a rear ender...cars drive like a crab

Damn, I know how it is with lack of sleep and exam stress. 2 years ago I reversed into a car while parking, its like my brain didnt register that there was even a car behind me even though I had plainly seen the car :thanks:

Yeah main thing is if its insured?

Edited by Yawn

lol naa its not insured

i got money to fix it

just gotta have some expert opinions on weather or not it is worth it. from what i can tell the chassis is still in good condition.

for eveyrone now that only has 3rd party.. get full comp!

hooly crap dude. feel for ya. as Mav said least you walek away from it.

quick question though did the airbags pop out?

yeah they popped out

i cant remeber if it hit me in the face or not it happened so quick

but they stiiink so bad and they fill up the whole cabin with smoke.

scary stuff

dont reo bars usually get chopped to fit intercoolers? seeing as his car is NA i doubt someone tried fitting in a intercooler :rofl:

Bad luck mate, luckily you're alright.

Can we see pics of the audi? :P

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
