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.

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

    • 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.
