shiat another clean 32 gone.....so sad to hear of your misfortune mate.....hopefully better luck for the rest of the year and goodluck with your search

Hear Hear! And yeah, if u can salvage some parts off it, i'm sure I can take a few off your hands... pm me if you're able to get it back

-Doh

can i ask what speed you was doing just curious cause you got alot of damage and you still have the front reo bar,i've seen a few skylines around with NO reo bar(big fmic)

wonder if the reo bar helped save your engine.

EDIT:just trying to guage how fast in a skyline causes X amount of damage.

Dude, IF he has going above 60kmph (and I'm not suggesting he was) do you really expect him to state it on a public forum whilst the crash is still being investigated or even send it to you via PM if he doesn't know you? And if he does know you why didn't you just send him a PM in the first place?

Also could be interested in parts if you decide to buy the wreck back.

he wasn't in the wrong,hence isn't paying excess,so taking that into concideration id say he was under the speed limit.

Just trying to guage how strong these cars are.

The assesor states whether its a write-off or not.

Its an Investigator from the insurance company who decides if there was foul play who works with the police that are involved in the case.

Good news is that I spoke to the insurance company, and as it isnt my fault, I dont have to pay excess.

Thanks everybody for your support, its more emotional damage than anything, i loved that car.

Im not too sure if im going to be buying back the wreck, but ill let everybody know if I do.

As for the speed, I was cruising in fourth goin 60, and if it had been a family car, im sure the damage would not have been as bad, its just unfortionate that I happened to collide with a f*kin tank of a car.

Also looks to be alot of damage as the front of the R32 GTR is all alloy..gaurds,bonnet,some suspension parts etc so crunches very easily.

I know how u feel man. My first car was an aussie R31....i did so many mods to it, custom made LSD diff from boss auto engineering, auto to manual conversion, lowering, mags, etc etc... about $10k mods.... i wrote the bastard off while turning into prospect road from grand junction at 20kph (i shit you not) and the rear slipped out, car did a 270' and i was wedged between a tree and the bus stop. Really not cool. I had comprehensive insurance but they only covered me for the $4k that the car was worth. A painful lesson, but Im glad you'll be able to get another. I had to settle for a VN commodore for 3 yrs (and I now have a hate-on for all holdens)... chin up, I know its no consolation but the fact it wasnt due to stupidity is something you can take as a positive..

-D

That sucks, hope you had a talking to the other driver, probly would have taken some of the thought of your car at the time. Dont dwell on what was, look forward to what your going to own next.

And yeah if you do buy it back, I'll buy the front sway bars off you..

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
