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

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
