Selling My '97 R33 Gts-t "wreck"

Got called up by NRMA this morning telling me what they've settled on for my insurance. I get a sum of cash and the wreck of my car.

I would love to get it fixed up in my own time with my own parts, but unfortunately that isn't really an option :D

This being the case, I'm looking to sell the effective "shell" of an R33 to someone for a decent price. The car itself was slid up a gutter, not at a direct right-angle to the curb, with most of the impact seeming to be on the rear wheel. Other than suspension damage, wheel damage, possible diff damage, and a probably buggered clutch, the car should be in good condition.

I'd rather try to sell the car whole, than have to take parts off it and sell them separately, but will sell parts if someone needs something specific.

NRMA valued the wreck at $4k, but who knows what they're on.

Car is currently located out at Pickles in Fyshwick, down side of the block (last I saw it) on the left when facing the building from the road. Happy to come out and meet up to look over the car if you're interested.

FYI there's no panel damage on the car, other than gravel rash on the bumper, a scratch on the right corner of the front bumper, and a scratch on the right rear bumper corner. No dints, cracks, or missing pieces. Very few blemishes on the paintwork either.

Call/SMS me on 0431391359, or just PM me.

74,000kms, only mods were turbo timer, lowered springs, and 18" wheels. Never been run above standard boost, everything else in the car is stock, except the battery (which has only been used to start the car about 10 times, about 2 months old. Came with 3 year warranty etc, can provide receipt :D)

That'd be a good idea, because once you see mine, if you have the motivation and access to a decent garage, you'll probably be keen as to make a single good car out of the wrecks (assuming you can get the needed parts out of yours)

call me if you want before you head to pickles and i'll come out and go over the car with ya, coz if you're interested in it we can at least talk a few things over. if not, hell there's probably a few things I still need to get off it before some scrubs steals em :down:

The car has now been sold. Thanks/sorry to those of you who expressed interest in parts of the car, but I'm sure you understand that I'd rather have sold it all in one go, rather than wreck it myself. The buyer was only looking for the engine in particular, so what he does is with the rest of it is up to him. If you'd like to know who bought it if you're still after a particular part, PM me and I'll tell you. That way you can at least get onto them to see if the part is available.

Thanks :P

(PS Shell, might as well lock this thread for the hell of it :down:)

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
