I'd like to see more of that rail. they bend in really strange spots and that one would need a lot of straightening. also those with fast do a LF hit parts list - there's $8k in damaged bits there.

other thing as well - you would need a chassis book to straighten it properly. none of that would be anywhere near spec.

for me I'd buy it, strip it and then cut it up. the air bags/seats alone to a importer are worth $4k easy

other things I noted - check engine light is on as is the 4wd light.

somethigs amiss there. looking at the engine cover what ever he's hit has destroyed that as well. it wouldnt surprise me if theres a few things under that damaged as well.

might be worth it for whats left, engine and gearbox also..........

im sure a shit load of us are keeping an eye on it now >_<

Yeah but I think everyone should just look away now....no one show any interest OK :(

Seriously though I agree, buy it and strip some bits off and sell the rest. No way I'dbe looking at fixing it - Mega bucks! The insurer already wrote it off as having what, $20,000 + worth of damage?

Hopefully someone doesn't get suckered into spending the $10,000 he says he wants and then they pop up on SAU telling people about the bargain he bought from this nice bloke and was also told parts are easy to source.

If it is so easy why doesn't he repair it himself........... Well since the front end hit has caused so much damage and the parts are not available except new from Nissan Ex Japan it isn't worth the trouble.

Dude thats selling it seems like a bit of a cowboy but could be interestring to see how much it goes for.

The exhaust would be handy. . . I reckon. .

I'm suprised that the insurer let him keep it if they paid it out, normally it goes to auction house to recover their deductibles

Looks a lot worse than he is letting on, hopefully someone doesn't get suckered into thinking it's going to cheap and easy to repair and get running 100%.

I wonder if this was the accident at the intersection in the city area that someone seen a month or 2 back.

It's a shame it was smashed up, looks like a nice M35 *sheds a tear*

If he doesn't sell it maybe we need to consider a group buy offer, I think $10,000 is a little over the top given the fact that as Chris pointed out there could be up to $8k in damage based on the FAST collision information.

You would also have to assume the airbags deployed? But they may have already been fixed.

Thanks for posting that Chris!

I will be buying it soon... Just kidding.

I could understand someone grabbing it if it had the black leather interior and pop up screen etc, but with the exception of the head unit there is nothing in there that is worth buying.

I understand what Chris (Rogers) is saying about the engine cover cracked, but the engine looks like it has taken no damage externally (who knows what has gone on internally though) and it may have been the way the bonnet bent that busted the cover.

The exhaust may be the only thing worth salvaging unless you own a black RS in which case the skirts and rear bar would be good.

Having spewed all that, if anyone on here does buy it, I will put up my hand for the foot rest and the plastic weather shields that go along the bottom of the doors! :P

Doubt is will be able to re-registered though.

Since it has been written off and looking at the angle of impact, I would say that the chassis has been bent.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
