well, I'm in the "your an idiot" camp.

But since this is about half-cuts.

My old race car was a full cut n shut, and it drove no worse than any of the other cars. Remembering that these cars were used to the *full* potential of their performance.

For those who don't support half cuts, are you 100% sure it is not as sound as a full car when done correctly, chasis straightened and inspected for other damage correctly? I thik you'll find that the welded section is stronger than the factory car....

This might be very well true when done correctly by an engineer.

but that's not always the case, and I have seen photos of several examples where in a small hit, the welds have come undone and the car has split in two along the join...

Sounds like ylwgtr2 knows what he's doing so that's good that he's helping MINES_DATSUN out...

do what gtrboy did start small

Wow , fairly savage comments fellas :)

The guy has crashed his car and for that I feel sorry but glad he is still posting the story to tell.I know he only seems to post in the for sale but he is still part of this forum which strangely enough is actually like a family( which I like some more than others, same as a normal family).lol

For those who have bagged him I say to lighten up. What , you all have never sped or skidded the wheels around a corner??

If you can honestly say that then you should be driving a Lada or something equally as boring :headspin:

As for fixing the car...

You all think that the cars you own are all Grade 4 , nevr been smashed , pristine one owner cars. HAAAHAAAHAAA.

Have a REAL close look and you might be surprised. A good cut and shut( and there is a few out there) is almost undetectable and surprisingly is actually stronger than factory becuase 90% of the time is fully seam welded and not just stitched ala. as in the factory.

Anyway, to Mines Datsun , you may have annoyed me with your numerous flogging stuff posts but I do feel for you with destroying a beautiful car :mad:

Cheers and commiserations

Savage comments....

Jamezilla owns a Lada & a GTR. But between me & you :D anyone that own 2 cars so far apart in character, is also know as [spelling] skitz-o-fenic ..

PS: Jamezilla, just havin a laugh mate No.H.F :)

well i say i can easly get 15K since there is lots of the car that is in fine condition. i plan to get a r32 gtr 89 model with every peny i have saved.

Fark me. Until now I had a tiny bit of respect for you because you seemed intent on driving a Gemini after this. But less than 24 hours after the accident which should have taught you the lesson of your life you're going straight back to where you came from. You are an absolute twat.

If there was an organisation I could donate money to to keep you off the streets they'd have $100 from me right now.

MINES_DATSUN

Lets be rational and serious for one moment.

Your a fcuking idiot who needs his head read.

The majority of your posts of this forum have been pathetic and a true indication of how immature you really are. Who on this earth would allow someone such as yourself behind the wheel of such a potent car with your driving attitude is well beyond me.

As with many others on this board, I worry, not for you but for other people whom you share the road with. All of which are put at great risk by your lack of care for the way you drive or those around you.

Consider yourself incredibly privelidged to have owned a GTR. If, after destroying one and damn near getting yourself killed, you make the insane decision to step into ANOTHER GTR then I hope you are banned from driving for life for this might be the only way to ensure that other cars and people are not at risk from your reckless and downright fcuked up driving attitude.

Out.

I stop and think if i was in his shoes (Thankfully im not)..but i would probably get back into a GTR if i could.

Mines, the fact that your parents are pissed at you, you have probably let both them and yourself down, wasted a lot of their money, could have hurt someone etc etc... if your going to get back behind the wheel, tone it down man.

It sounds like your fortunate enough to have the money, so take it to Calder, Phillip Island, Winton etc etc. Ans dont go bolting a roll cage in your car, just drive like a normal human being... perhaps even re-think about why you were driving like you were and whether you are seriously going to change.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
