from your photo it just looks like LCA, there designed to bend / fold like that to take the impact. from the pics it looks like minimal damage.

get a few quotes, you might find you can get a new turbo out of it. lolz

Best of luck to you!

Hahaha f*$kin cats and dogs aye! Well the car has been repaired and just needs a wheel alignment, which I am going to hold off doing until I get my teins and rims ;) .

All up cost me $225 for the control arm, $100 bucks for my dads mate (mobile mech) to replace it and $1880 for the panel repair (also had the front of my car where my missus sister reversed into it fixed). So happy with the panel repair done by City Crash Repairs in Townsville, car looks new! I rocked up and the car was polished (and clay barred), wheels cleaned up and the interior vacuumed. Great service highly recommended guys!

hey mate, looks like u just gotta replace lower control arm, piece of cake, i can repair and paint that rear quarter for $450 i would only need the car for 3 days at the most, it would be painted in a booth [no rough backyard job] i do this shit everyday, im in moss st underwood, my number is <removed>

Mate I bought my 33 smacked up it had taken a hit in the exaxt same position but about 3x worse than that. the guard was caved in alot worse aswell. $50 for a 2nd hand control arm you can take the old one out and put the new one in yourself theres all of about 4 bolts. That will get your car rolling again way. There was no chassis or subframe damage to mine and as i said it was far worse than that. The panel damage is minimal would take no time to have it looking brand new again. Don't get sucked in by some panel beater telling you the damage is far worse than it is, because its nothing. It will take 10mins to replace the control arm and go from there

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
