Hahaha, He might just do! she seemed to have an interest in silly wogs :banana:

on another note, my friend is bummy with gms. might get him to give them a hola to get the m35 ecu

"The fully sik Stageas were live revving and revving hard, then the Skinny Stagea (250t) said to the fat Stagea (260RS), I'm gunna get my aftermarket homies on to you and then a Chik Chik backfire . . Boom. . . it was all over. . . .the poor skinny stagea had a broken nose. . "

which in plain english = not worth fixing. now if a import panel shop got the car for nix and fixed it thats another story.

how did you find this out?

I work for the Insurance company as an assessor. and have looked a car

Mind you that the replacement parts would all be NEW from nissan. or whoever made the kit that was on the car.. + all the broken parts that you can see. airbox etc etc..

thats why the cost will be out of this world.. it really doesnt look like that much of a knock. but the rail does look like it took most of the impact.

The price was using used parts 1/2 from a importer when dose a insurance companay pay for new parts on a old car? the rail is very bad, only new parts would be air bags and suspension.

do you mean THIS car??

if youve looked at it, then youd know it doesnt need airbags replaced as they werent deployed.

depends on the insurance company if they use new or 2nd hand parts. i think AAMI dont use new parts if the car is more than a year old. dont quote me on that.

Sorry i look at so many cars every day, and this went threw over 2 months ago, must of been the other one we had that the bags had gone off on, but yes i have seen this car and needs a new rail and with a big repair on the fire wall.

As long as the car is under factory warranty they should use new parts, on cars out of warrany aftermarket or used parts can be used can be used only safty item have to be new, eg air bags.

brian walker? who do you work for?

I work for Just Car Insurance as an assessor in Sydney.

i almost thought you didnt speak english with your first post :D

this one clears things up a little!!

ahh yes i didnt think of factory warranty. however, i know ALL insurance companies dont do that. my friends car was stolen and beaten up. they used 2nd hand parts to repair and now she is having problems with a warranty claim because of 2nd hand parts.........

Ah no worries, the only brian my brother knew was brian walker.. i guess not you..

as an example for everyone

cars insured for 20g, Brian quotes 15k to fix, Auction assessor say they will get 5k @ auction the car will get written off and sold..

the values will obviously be a little different Brian may be able to explain more..

Spot on there. and the problem is with some people paying silly money for damaged imports like skylines and Evo's we can total loss the car easy. I can check up but im sure someone paid around $7000 for this black Stages threw pickles.

Yeah i think it went somewhere around 7k..

i'm also taking a stab and saying you ring around a few of the bigger jap wreckers for parts to fix? and will average the prices if you can locate... i'd say a m35 stagea would be a tricky one to locate panels etc for..

There was a quote done on the car by Prestige Motorsport in Sydney who priced up a front cut less motor out of Japan with all labour req and still come in well over $15000, for people who dont know Prestige Motorsport is a smash repair - importer in Lansvale Sydney he will import any parts needed, brings parts over for Just Cars all the time. and fixs alot of the imports.

I think he still has a S2 Stagea front cut sitting around, and im sure he will bring in M35 parts if there are people after stuff.

Without seeing the car in person it does not look that bad. $3500 I thought would be on the money for a full front cut less mechanical. I have done over 6-7 similar cars in the past and never spent that much on a front cut. They were all jap cars. The high repair bill be for alot of labour dropping motor and gearbox, stripping engine bay, removing full dash to repair fire wall, painting inside were welding new rail to fire wall etc. If you were a back yarder and did all this donkey work yourself, like I use to, I would guess/estimate work needed to be done by a panel builder and painter to be $3000-4000 plus parts.

Speaking of parts, what ever happened to the 2 2004 stagea's that could not be complied. Surly someone is stripping them, 2 perfect fronts on them

The backyard repairer/own your own workshop are the guys who can do it on the cheap :) there are surely some good buys at auction if you are one of these guys.

i would buy some of the evo's and fix them! they seem cheap tho can be pretty damaged with a small knock.

speaking of smashed repair jobs..

looks like my brother did end up getting the r34 he was calling me about..

What do you know about this car?

I saw it just over a week ago at a panel beater near my work. They had the front stripped to quote. They do all the high end $300K plus cars

I have a spare $160K at the moment, stuff the house reno's. It goes to auction on the 24th. I think I might have a look. . .

I just checked, it is listed in the storm/flood affected vehicles

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
