Reasonable. But most people I know have their pretty stock r34 gtt coupes insured for 20k.

they valued it at 20K if it was in mint condition with low K's etc

they said i can buy back the wreck for 7K coz apparently that's what wreckers quoted them for it.

Able to salvage more than $10k in parts from it? If so it's worth it if you don't need the $ in a hurry...

if you can only get back $8k or so, I wouldn't really bother, but if there's a decent amount of money to be made, in a reasonable time frame, do it...

If my car was ever written off, and I got the wreck back, I would've CLEANED UP...would've pocketed something like $35-40k...

nah not worth it i don't see how i'd get anything close to 10K for parts. had over 120Ks on engine/gearbox which was auto so don't think it'd fetch much. also don't really have the space for it. i'd pay up to 3K for the wreck if they agree otherwise i'll pass. wanna get a new car already...

we're still in negotiation atm asking 13K plus the wreck, if they say no then we'll just go for the next best offer i guess. not much we can do

Lol. Drove a manual na 33. Was slow as. Why put effort in something when it wont be worth it. I'll take my na atmo cruiser please. Sell and go a turbo when I'm off my ps.

And you had an na auto mr2... I would rather drive a VT

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
