yo yo yo

just got my two quotes,

it seems that the spacesaver saved my boot from caving in further - so the thing is f**ked

first guy said 6-8k for the repair,

and the 2nd guy said around 8k - possibly needing a rear cut..

fuuuuuuuuck!

Get old mate to just buy you another car

Aslong as you dont install some hectic chromies with perfect narrowbody fitment we should be sweet.

Track car ftw :) Wish I could afford another one. Best I can afford atm is a 31 or something. We'll see in december :P

1. I don't like chromies.

2. I hate people that put body kits on there car and they can't lower it where the wheels are in the guard, hence buying a Nismo kit for it that is the same height as the stock kit :P

And 31's are awesome! (I use to have one)

8k is only 2/3 of the value of the car so you might get it repaired. If not just hope they give you the whole 12k n buy another one

jeez how annoying.. didnt think it was that bad though, isnt $8k a little overpriced?

basicaly what you need is a rear bar, a boot lid and straightening out the rear end..

now the first two items you can get for less than $1k?

yo wolf!

man wat we didnt see the other night is that the whole boot floor as crumpled..

the 8k was only an estimate - we'll find out more in the next few dayss..

It'll be cheap if you source it yourself definately but if you're letting someone else do the job its an entirely different story. First they will get all brand new geniune parts, second mark up 30% 40% (just look at my charge rate at work... 135/hr to client)? And third, their time/contacts. These would make your 2-3k job easily 5-7k. But I do agree 8 seems unreasonable.

If I were you... try to get the full 12k and save the rest up and get a GTR ! I pack my lunch/cook dinner for more than a yr to get mine =P

brandon you car is amazing - but its 4wd!

im a man of my rwd hahaha

ill straight swap you though :P

Its a good deal Brandon. Tristans car does epic skids :P

I dont think 8k is unreasonable. It would be a fair amount of work to straighten up the car properly and things will always come up which are unexpected. Its probably a 6k job but the guy has given himself a buffer.

PS: GTR + RWD Mode?...

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
