No. No. No.

You cannot simply weld a car together from 2-halves. Especially not a high performance car.

Mines - this is not like a Lego set. It won't magically 'click' back together again.

The car is a wreck. There is nothing that can be done.

Sell the good bits (an RB26 is worth about $5k), scrap the rest.

Please don't try and repair your car....

In all seriousness, that's really quite dangerous... You can't weld two halves of a chassis together and hope it holds.

If you feel bad now, imagine how you'd feel if you find out the person you sold your car to died because the GTR snapped in half going 110km/h along the freeway? :(

If your going to go down tat path, look into re-engineered bodies (cant recall if thats what its called)

Basically if you have had an accident then you are allowed to put your running gear into another shell, plenty of club racer ppl do it when they damage say their Golf/Escort shell in a hill climb etc etc.

Start ringing importers and see if they have any Race/Rally R33s or GTRs that have been imported for wrecking.

As others will no doubt tell you, a cut and shut job isnt the way to go unless you tell the cars new owner about the cars history. How would you feel if you bought a car only to find out its past when the thing had a handling, tyre wear imbalance etc etc.

Perhaps someone out there wants to build a 9second GTR

there is plenty of half cut r33's out there on the streets that people dont know of. can you take your personal comments somewhere else please.

Plenty of half cuts people don't know of - yeh, and this makes it right? What happens if someone has an accident - their car will fall to pieces and kill them and their passengers because it's been dogily re-welded together. It's illegal as far as I know to "cut and shut" a car like you're thinking. Don't even bother trying to repair it. Sell what's left of your car in parts or as a wreck.

Well... maybe the photos look over dramatic. A good cut and polish, she'll be like new...

Really.

Mines - at the end of the day, what you do to your car is your business... but take any discussion of 'repairing to sell' that vehicle off this forum.

It is: 1: Illegal, 2: Dangerous, 3: Expensive.

No-one here will condone that type of activity. You can easily buy a front-cut, but that is to use for part (engine, loom etc), not to weld onto the back of another car.

Please - for the sake of humanity - sell the parts.

Stop any thoughts you have about repairing it. You'll actually be better off (financially) by selling the parts.

If you do come to your senses and 'wreck' the car for bits - I'm serious about your boot-trim bits... but need to see them first.

This is all I will say on this topic.

Hmmm this is an interesting post.....i am sure that all you guys are aware that cars are not made up of billet material!!;)Anyway i get your points on unsafe repair work however....a job like this done PROPERLY is completely safe and legal...i mean take into consideration the new V.I.V scheme that has been put into place...I beleive this scheme is enforced NOT for the safety of the general public but due to the loss,s on the insurance companys behalf(theft ect)They preach its for safety but i beleive not...having said that there is or at least was many dodgy repairs going on which this law may cut out but i have seen dodgy jobs slip through V.I.V due to the owner/repairer having reciepts for parts while the inspector was too busy looking at them and not picking up the shoddy repair......I can also sense a desire from people for not wanting this mines guy back on the road in this type of car...to which i can also understand

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.
