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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
