At $92k-110k if your just after parts, why would't you just buy a GTR in Japan with the great exchange rate, cut it in half like the (Donut king team?) did earlier this year and send it over to Australia?

Or is there alot of taxes you have to pay on parts as well? duties etc.

Happy with my new one....I would not bother with importing of any sort...but at 20k here damaged ...I would buy a shed full of them

but I reckon I would have to kill the hundreds in front of me with their 20k....

20k here damaged? are you saying you bought a damaged one for $20k for parts, this white one or another?

oh wow so some bloke (let's assume) has bought this car for 92K to part it out and wreck it

who in the fuck

is going to pay

35 grand

for a freaking engine.

i ask you.

who.

WHO.

Well apparently someone bought an undrivable car with a spare 92k.....so you never know. But 92k is a bit much for a car not many people own, and parting out is probably a bit early since most people who have taken out a home loan or have deep pockets to pay for a car like this wouldn't drive it in a manner to have to need to replace parts. I'll put my hand up for a genuine r35 gtr badge, but then again mum gets paid next week.

I wish.....No just my reply to earlier post in this thread......

"It will be de-valued and scared for life, being listed as a repairable writeoff. Once repaired it stays on the register for life!

What value does someone put on this. . . 10-20K??"

A crate motor is $75k so why not? Not to mention trying to actually buy one, i doubt Nissan would sell us one anyway.

it's a high hit - it's repairable - it's a supercar - if you repaired it you'd save 10 thousand dollars off the cost of a GTR alone

...whoop de freaking do.

i'm just saying, if you can afford to pay 92K for a wrecked car. THEN pay for the FREAKING HEADACHE. associated with repairing it - and paying like, waht, 80K for the repairs? (let's SAY it costs this much for arguements' sake.)

if you can afford 172K for a frankenstein car that's been crashrepaired... then you can afford to just go to the nissan shop and just buy a new car - it's financed, no upfront payment, and you have a new car that way

you don't have to be the guy that hangs out with the other GTR community and be like "yeah i bought a wreck and repaired it"

"oh wow aren't you cultured"

i'm just saying

actually

you know what

everyone's entitled to their opinions, we're all obviously just disagreeing

so let's agree on one common thing...

..you're all wrong except for me.

:happy:

Not to mention the fact you've got a supercar with probably the most electronic gear in it out of almost any super car. And a high end smash on the back might just delodge a few things throughout the car. Can't be cheap to repair, I remember someone on here mentioning front bumpers were $2500 and front lips were $1500 along.

If its whoever hit the gtr's fault than it would be their insurance paying, that is if they had insurance.

Not really!

If he cut in front of the truck whilst pulling up to lights/ stop sign / give way sign etc it will be the GTR's fault

Law states you must leave room for trucks to pull up.

I know this coz i was cut off a couple months ago in my work truk and insurance and cops deemed it was op fault for not giving room to stop

You can pick a rear back cover, choice of colour even for $150 on Yahoo

Does not look like it sold

Relisted for 28/10/09

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
