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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
