That's a way bigger hit than I imagined Luke! I reckon you should be able to come off better than $3.5k with the wreck - series II interior, P1 rims, sunroof, etc. But like Nightcrawler said, it's just a matter of waiting out the time before the parts are sold. I still have the stock exhaust from it lying in my garage!

Just hope you can sort out the insurance easily. I'll drop you a PM back soon...

Yep, hard to believe I was only going around 30k/h eh? Thing is I have no idea how fast she was going (I'd guess 60ish k/h) and she was also driving a Kingswood so it was like hitting a brick wall; barely a dent in her car

Where did you 2 hit? Was it in her front left? If can prove that your light was green and you hit her on her front left and she was going fast thru the intersection it means that she was either running a red or flying thru an obvious orange, either way it sucks to see your car like that.

If buying back id like to put in a reservation for the plastic boot latch cover, mines cracked and car toys cut it while installing my sub box.

Cheers

I'm glad that you're okay Luke. A lady running a red light at the start of the year wrote my car off and put me in hospital. I still have trouble with my neck/back/hips and knee. I guess the question is whether you have the skills, tools, time and patience to pull the car apart and store the parts until they sell. Some potential buyers always stuff you around which can be quite frustrating but you could end up making a few extra $. Good luck.

very glad you are still with us matey

UMmmm, me, Id say ask the company if you can buy back the brand new turbo, and leave it at that.

Move on and forget the ol' girl

Mind you thats me, no kneecaps = no way to strip the car :rofl:

No my hours of work fitiing that intercooler for you!!!!!

All seriousness i am glad you are ok and that you came out fine with no injuries.

Let me know if you need a hand with anything. :ph34r:

im soooooo sorry my heart goes out to you i cant belive that has happened to you anyway buy your car back mate cause your seats are worth a bit couple hundred and your bootcarpet and everything that isnt damaged is worth a fair bit more than 3500 if you wnt to sell your sunvisers (spelling) i will buy them if they are the same colour as mine

Damn Luke, I saw the pic and that was enough to kick me in the nuts and make me cry.

I know I would be interested in some bits and pieces from your car, so let me know what your going to do buddy.

If anything I am really after that black plastic thing that covers the boot latch, but certainly other stuff could be possible (interior etc)

If buying back id like to put in a reservation for the plastic boot latch cover, mines cracked and car toys cut it while installing my sub box.

I bought one of these for my series 1 from Nissan, cost something like $10 (go figure when they want $200 for some plastic clips)

Anyone able to tell me in total what I'd be expecting back realistically if I did buy it back aqnd strip it?

I was in a similar situation 5 months ago, and was told that any items not specifically mentioned on my insurance policy (e.g. the turbo and stereo) could be swapped for stock parts prior to the insurance company taking the car.

For $3500 it sounds like it would be worth you wrecking it yourself. If you need a hand or some tools let me know as I’m happy to help out where I can (for the odd beer whilst working LOL)

Glad to here you wernt hurt.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
