If you decide to part it off:

How much for the brembos? What sort of condition are they in.

Also, if your intrested, we could prehaps do a deal for a swap with my standard R32 GTR callipers with cash your way to allow you to still get RWC.

well if it comes to it that you decide to sell parts off of it, i shotgun nismo kit and fuel sender unit and posibly weather shields if you have them.

Cheers,

Simon

hey dude

dont mean anything bad here in anyway but you mentioned you lost your licence, tho the police didnt attend the scene.??

anyways was interested in parts if your going that way

That's okay, I can see it would be confusing. At accident cops, ambulance and maybe fireys were called. Only the ambo's turned up. They took me to casualty since I was in shock and there the cops forced a blood test. I heard nothing for three months, then got a summons. Hence license disappeared. I have it back now, that's long since history.

Seriously, the car is kosher. End of me answering questions about that, if you've got cash to buy it and are concerned about that, come and see me, we can go to the cop shop together and get it checked it out :)

Ok, pics, after a horrendous experience uploading to imageshack. They're fairly big, I thought detail was best.

You can see the worst of the damage above the front passenger wheel where the car spun and hit a brick post, actually knocking the post over. The wheel was pushed under the car, this is where the CV was bent, the control arms folded up, the mag torn up and the strut bent. All those have been replaced. Obviously the quarter panel is a bit of an issue, that's where the contact with the other car happened, the corner of that car. The back of the car shore off a small palm tree, hence the pushing in of the spare tire section a little and the crease vertically up the rear bumper and boot.

EDIT: FYI The quarter panel, I think was about $790 from Nissan when I checked. Don't rely on that - call and check with them, but that's from my vague memory.

cheers tony

Sorry mate, but if I sell that to you the person who buys the car will likely have to look for one then!

If it comes to parts, it's yours, but that seems pretty unlikely to be honest, sorry.

Right now the entire dash, consoles, everything is all together and in great nick, not going to ruin when I'm trying to sell it!

    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
    • OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:
