I feel your pain mate. I lost it once when I was concerntrating. Also lack of experience I think. Only had the car 3 weeks, wasnt used to the power or rear wheel drive. Having bald tyres didnt help either. Lost it and took out a fire hydrant. Im the unofficial cause of stage 3 water restrictions. Lucky for me it was minor damage. I feel really bad about the amount of water lost though, the bloody hydrant was going for an hour. =(

PS: car was covered by full comp and is all good now. The sig pick is the side that was hit, front right. As you can see, you cant tell the difference. Now its got nice fat new tyres on it.

hrmm are you sure its worth to pay $7k to fix it?

How much do r33 gts' sell for these days?

Might be better to sell the wreck and purchase another gts? as the car may never be the same after it has been repaired...

i bought that 5 month ago for 13 k

i know i could buy like a shitty commo or something

but i love the car too much

its like

if your pet was sick.. and you could pay 2000 to make him better or 500 for a new pet

you wanna fix him

you could probably make 4 -5k selling all the parts, then plus the 7k that you need to spend to fix it is around 12k which would easily get you another gts that has not been in a smash, or hold out and get a gtst.

my friend has same sort of front end damage, his mechanic told him to go to the wreckers to get a "front nose cut".. should include most of what u need, except bonnet, lights, and belt from what i remember.. but its hard to find nose cuts.. should cost $1k i hear.. but if u find it, it could save you money..

also the airbags cost a shitload to replace.. 2000 + i think..

the money isnt so important as much as getting the car back asap

plus i dont wanna be hunting down shit

i like the idea of

i give to man

man fixes

man calls me when i can pick it up

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
