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.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
