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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
