Waste of time repairing that i am sorry to say...

I would be shocked if that was not a statutory write off.

Best bet is to part it out and buy a new one. Also that is a rear hit so why is the other person not paying etc or was it a single vehicle accident?

Don't repair it it will never sell if your honest when you do and if there is chassis damage then it will crab and look s*#t..

s*** true?

yeah it was single car accident

i think gov was fixing the road.

i didnt c the sign and went too fast on it.

car went in the air when it dropped i lost control.

no insurance coz wasnt sure if i was going some where for while or not.

where is best place to look for shell?

Cut and polish mate, she'll be right.....

Seriously, to repair you'll be looking at least

Rear window

Rear bar

RHR quarter panel

Beaver panel

Boot lid

At least one tail light....I'm guessing

Plus a lot of labour and painting costs.........minimum.

If it's a 34 gtt you'll likely find the best deal will be to buy another car and part that one out, you'll be surprised how much of those parts will sell, and it'll all add up.

I've said before I had a friend in NZ who used to buy cars and part them out, even if they were in perfect registerable condition, cos parts alone fetch a hell of a lot more than the car as a whole.

I really hope you owned that car before you joined this forum.....if you wrote one off in under 11 days I would suggest you stick with the civic....or maybe a Volvo

Check if the roof has any ripples, crumpled etc (roof is structural). Then check and measure the rear cradle mount points to the front mount points on front crossmember.

If the roof is good, and the measurements aren't out by more than a couple of mm ( I doubt it) then it would be repairable.

Also the boot floor would need to be bashed out too.

Even then like the guys said, all the parts, paint and labour will be $$$$.

Looks like it may be worth repairing?

Good luck with your decision.

ofcoz i had itt for while.

what u think? lol

if i crashed in 2weeks, i will be in mental hosp. haha

i was looking for parts and saw this site

so thought i join.

i saw boot lid for 100 and RH rear light for 60.

rear bumper for 150.

so i need RH quarter panel and some metal bit/

im looking for shell ATM as well.

if i can get good shell i might jus buy the shell.

ot buy 2dr r34 GT and swap the parts and sell what i have left.

i think it might be best way

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
