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

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
