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.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      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.
