I am seeking some help with stripping my skyline as it was written off in a accident a few weeks ago. The front left wheel has been pushed back into the guard/firewall, rendering the car undriveable

If the is anyone around the Kellyville, Castle Hill, Blacktown or Parramatta area who has the equipment and skills to remove the eninge from my car it would be greatly appreciated (either cash or booze or both).

Cheers,

Michael

sure its written off dude? just fixed one a few weeks ago for about 1000 in parts including side clip

No offence mate but i am pretty sure it is.

Any accident is considered written off when you dont have insurance :cool:

The insurance company financially wrote the car off.

How about asking someone to repair the wheel :P

The wheels are fine, the car is just undriveable/rollable as the wheel is pushed back into the firewall.

If the wheel is in the firewall I doubt it's an easy fix. Sorry I don't have time atm mate.

Thanks anyway. I'll be wrecking the car and selling it.

This photo may help..

The front left suspension tower has moved back towards the firewall about 5mm. The C Pillar is buckled above the passenger door.

car was insured for $17,000 but it went through here insurance which ment i only got market value for it. I only had 3rd party insurance. Lessons learnt. I also manage to persuade the insurance company it was a r33 gtr because it was 4 wheel drive so i got closer to the insured value.

Cheers for the concern. I walked away from it with a bit of whiplash and some seat belt burn around my waist.

chit thats some bad damage.

what was the quoted maket value of the car?

you can get her insurance pay out. then find out at what auction they will be selling the wreck at and pick the car up for dirt cheap, afterwards parting it out getting back more than what you bought the car from auctions for, then in the end send it to sims metal.

for the record insurance companies arnt that gullable. they will go by the name make and model of the vehicle when making the insurance payment to you. a gtst 4 and a gtr are 2 totally different cars.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
