just gathering immediate interest, see if its worth buying the wreck.

1997 BLACK S1 RS260

might be interested in selling the wreck as is,

or parting out whole car.

its NISMO S-Tune coils, with the factory optioned lowered springs.

idealy, i would like to sell the whole wreck for some fast cash, but i'll see what price i am offered

Edited by BIT SUS
how much were you looking at for the whole wreck out of interest?

and how much you want for the spoiler?

I find out later in the week how much the wreck is, and will post up.

I won't be listing individual part prices up until such time as I have made a decision on buying the wreck or not.

Until then, feel free to post up offers on the main things like engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension, etc.

I FKN hate lancer drivers!

the tears are still running :P

I hate commo drivers :)

Interested in brakes and possibly front and rear seats.

Let us know what the outcome is.

Pm sent about gearbox, flywheel, clutch, pedal box, etc ... most bits for a manual conversion. :thumbsup:

Intersested in the whole car

Does it still roll or partly drive to get it on and off a truck to Brisbane?

The car rolls and steers, but engine cannot be started as there is no radiator, intercooler or belts on the engine. The crash shop dismantled the front end to assess the damage.

For all those people who have PM'd me about the price of the wreck, I will not reply, as I will be posting the price of the complete wreck up here, and it will then be first in best dressed from that point on.

I cannot keep track of 15+ PMs (so far) about the wreck, and if i purchase the wreck, I want it gone ASAP, as I want to replace the vehicle as soon as possible.

Sorry if this upsets some people, but as you can understand, Im trying to recover my uninsured losses as best as I can.

hey there mate,

just abit of advice from my experiance with my r33 gtr

its not worth buying the wreck back as in the end you dont end up making $$ as the insurance company always wants top $$ for the wreck plus you will get thousands of time wasters saying they want the car but as we all know there are too many dreamers who dont want to pay what its worth

for some one to buy this and put it back on the road will take alot of time and money

save the headache and give it to the insurance company, i wished i done so

yeh, ive figured as much, but most people would want this car for parts for say a manual conversion, not for a repair.

exactly my point,

you would sell the manual bits and maybe the motor (which will be hard as people want warranty) so you will end up with parts everywhere as people will get you to pull it appart but never collect the parts

things to take into consideration are

you need room and time to store and dismantle the car,

you will need to cover all your cost and then make a profit to make it worth while for you, this takes alot of time trust me

you will have heappps of tyre kickers rocking up to your house for parts but want it for next to nothing

alright.

enough BS:

I have been offered the car back at what i think is an acceptable price.

Throw me some offers via PM for the whole wreck, and i'll see i'd make a small profit by buying it back.

Highest offer wins obviously, as im already at a loss of 6k or more (see stupid Lancer drivers comment earlier)

Nigel.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
