Sorry to see that mate... I only banged the back of my car and that nearly made me cry in terror... I feel for you.... look on the bright side, it's all cosmetics... will be expensive to fix, but slowly you will get it all fixed... it's not totally impossible!

Jump on www.yellowpages.com.au and look up some local wreckers... remember to bargain down heaps as they're really expensive sometimes!

Good luck.

And oh, you didn't have full comprehensive insurance?? IF so, claim on that... it will end up be cheaper!

Bad luck buddy. Depending on the damage that you cant see in the pic 3 to 5 k. As Ash said get a few more quotes. Try Micolour - Cheltenham or DT Panels - Springvale.

actually, i did go to DT, the guy said that if i can provide all the parts, he can fix it for just 650 labour, but he only had a glance over the car, not sure if he saw allll the damage.....

if your chassis is bent, it won't be 'road worthy'. It'll cost quite a bit to repair it. Not sure how they do it, straightening it perhaps?

Besides getting those parts, maybe you might want to invest in a better set of tyres as well to prevent this from happening again.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
