just to answer some of the questions

no im not insured

it broke traction in 2nd gear and got a 360 B4 stopping on a street sign

i dont want to fix the GTR because i was planing on selling it any way, theres no point in having 2 performance cars

im just gonna focus on the 180 and turn that into a 4wd monsta

to repair the car its gonna cost me to much money because it needs a respray and not only that i still need to fix up all the damages i done

its just not worth it in my eyes when ive got a 180 sitting here waiting for a engine

ive got a shit load of parts for sale now

my phone number is 04301 487 92

so if ur after any parts just give me a call

ive also got the shell and all that other crap for sale as well

How exactly can you tell that by looking at a couple of ordinary quality long distance photographs?

at the rick of keeping this going

because ive fixed alot worse myself and ive seen alot worse fixed... its not rocket science to tell that its not a massive hit and the whole car isnt bent like a banana :P

good luck with your transplant i cant wait to see the end result keep us updated!!!

bummer about your car mate. :P

personally I'd keep the 180 going with the SRV you had planned for it, and just use the money frmo parting out your GTR to fund it.

in the end you'll end up with basically a GTR with machperson strut suspension and a whole lot of work to get it going quickly.

by sticking with RWD and SR20 you get to keep it light weight, easy to build and repair and keep the balance as it was meant to be.

going GTR engine and AWD means more weight. more weight up front. lots more complexity and you don't have all that nice cash from selling the engine and driveline from the GTR.

but I reckon the best option is:

repair the GTR and sell it. use money to buy daily/tow car and fund the 180 track car.

What he said.

Sad to see mate. GL with it either way you go.

Are you going to part out much else of the car or just the parts you've listed?

To the optimists regarding repair: I'm not an expert but that really does look like it would have done some serious damage to the chassis which puts everything out of alignment.....

what does he know? just cause he owns 2 GTRs AND a silvia drift(ish) car... pfft...

lol :P

To be honest, there's very few things I like more then Silvias with an RB26 in them, an S15 26 will hopefully be my next car, so I say do it! Fitting the Attessa isn't impossible

im going ahead with the RB26 and 4wd conversion on the 180sx i always liked it more then the GTR which is why ill take wat i need from the GTR and sell wat i can and scrap watever i cant sell

if any one is after any parts of the GTR let me know because im only keeping the engine, drivetrain, front hubs

ive already got a Vspec rearend conversion done to my 180 so i dont need the rear end out of the R32 GTR so thats up for grabs as well

so if any one is looking for any thing just let me know

Ummm i was gonna offer some sympathy over the car but it seems your quite excited over the gtr powertrain

Has anyone ever tranfered the 4wd system into a silvia???? s13,14,15? seen plenty of rb26 swaps!

this may make your 180sx a daily as well as a race car.....much safer too and you can still drift it.

Yeah there is a mob that readilly make the kits to suit S13/14 and 15's in the states asa the GTR's are so expensive to register over there, it uses modified GTR drive train and a RB26 ofcourse, some people may have seen this S14 at a recent SEMA show, very impressive

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
