post-40292-1246377026_thumb.jpgHi guys, I am in the process of fixing my r34 gtt which I had stacked the front end off last year and now that I have finally been paid out by the insurance company a year later after having been stuffed :P around and going through courts its all good and I miss my car that much I've decided to fix it :D . lol anyways straight to the point I scored some xenon headlights off a bloke here on sau "pending delivery" to replace my old xenon headlights only to find out they won't pass VIV or roadworthy which I didn't know about because I thought I was replacing a factory item.. Well the car came with it and it's got a dimming switch next to the ignition. Also please shed some light on items like the bonnet, guards and bar I was going to for a carbon fiber TS GTR bonnet and F/Glass TS GTR bar and I have to replace passenger airbag and steering wheel and driver side seat belt and tensioners. I need to know if the Carbon and Fiber Glass are road worthy before I buy the stuff and what is the process involved for replacing airbags and seatbelt as it's been a challenge trying to find parts like radiator support, oem guards, windscreen front bar support headlights support I guess I have to go with new parts from NISSAN especially airbags., seatbelt. Anyways the car has been deemed as a repairable write off uneconomical but the chassis is straight and most of the damage is cosmetic no mechanical damage apart from radiator, AC stuff and windscreen washer bottle which made me decide to fix it after which I need to go for roadworthy and VIV inspection to register it. Also is it roadworthy to have a front mount and airfilter pod. I've attached some photos...

Guys thanks for listening. I look forward to your feedback :rant: .

Cheers.

PS: Do you think it is it worth fixing or should sell it as or strip it and sell it in parts?

Cant have a CF bonnet, needs to crumple and absorb padestrian impact etc. Do a search, but most states will let you have one intake mod (enclosed pod/fastened pod or IC)

What speed did you have the accident? I did heaps more damage about 12 months ago but my airbags didnt let go

what about the airbags...does the ecu needs to be cleared of any faults since the bags were deployed.

well you will need to find a non xenon headlight or you will have to get a compliance company to remove the xenon and put a serial stamp on the headlight stating that it no longer has xenon.

if that too much of a hassle id be happy to do a swap for my headlights for yours. i have a xenon headlight which the company that complianced my headlight removed and put a serial stamp on it making it a legal headlight.

with your xenon headlight you will not pass roadworthy.

as for if its worth it to fix your car or part it out. depends on whats actually damaged structure wise. are the radiator supports bent? the damage doesnt look too bad. panal wise looks like 2 new guards, bonnet and front bar. you need roadworthy headlights, frton reo supprt bar, rad support. maybe a new radaitor, new horn. get the airbag sensors re done. resetting the airbags maybe costly though.

good luck with it all.

The airbag light should be flashing if it finds a fault. If you've replaced all the right components and the ecu has been reset since being repaired (i.e. battery going flat ) it should be ok. Just make sure it lights up when you start your car and goes off.

At impact probably the same if not 70, although the car up front of me was moving so the G's probably werent as high

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
