Thought this would probably be the best place to ask seeing as I need some local advice.

As some of you might know, a couple months back my Stagea was crashed into and subsequently was declared a repairable write-off. I used the pay out to buy my GTR and since then my poor Stag has been sitting out the back of my mates place doing nothing but making me sad everytime I go round there. So instead of parting it out, I've decided i'd like to fix it up.

Basically what I'm after is someone who could come round and have a look at it and give me a quote, even a rough one, to repair it and get it back on the road. The issue is that it's undrivable the way it is so I really need someone who would be willing to come round and have a look at it. If anyone here could or knows someone who can that would be awesome.

-Pete.

Didnt you have to provide a quote to your insurance company before they deemed it a write off? or was it just the insurance assessor?

Id ring around to places like All Type Crash, they might have someone pop around if it means they get your business. Alternatively, write down what is wrong with it, itemised of course, and take it into a crash repairer.

i dont know anything about what happened, or what state the car is in, but if it was deemed a write off is it really worth the hassle and cost of repairing it? Write off being that it would cost more to fix, rather than buy a new one...

im guessing at least you would need chassis checked, panels and plastics replaced, engine and complete drive line could be out of whack now too...it would be very costly *(once again depending on what the car is now like / where it was hit)

My advice is dont get sentimental on it and waste money.

Pete,

I use to work at a crash repairer, so have a fair idea on what to look for. I can help with compiling a list of bits you'll need, then its up to you to hunt them down second hand. Cars are normally written off because the repairer will quote top dollar second hand parts, or new parts. In most cases, forums like SAU can help you hunt down the bits you need and save heaps. Do the labour yourself, and save more.

Nothing wrong with a bit of DIY.

If the chassis rails a twisted or bent in anyway... Don't bother. If its something like rad support, panels etc then a bit of DIY and a couple cases of beer and a few weekends can fix then go for it!

How bad is it? Any chance you want to sell it?

Stagea Ute, track car would be a first for AUS.

I don't think the chassis is twisted no panels gaps have changes that I've noticed, front right drive shaft is broken and some other suspension bits I think. No engine damage at all

you wanna buy it the way it is be my guest. I'll put some pics in here when I get home

Have got photos of it and its a factory manual..... Jealous

Hi Pete sorry I didnt come over when adam grabbed those indicators off you...

Cheers,

Chris

no worries man, thought i recognized your username :banana:

heres some pics. i know the ones from in the gurads arent great but it was getting dark and it was a bit tricky trying to get the whole camera in the guard and not be too close.

anyway...

Hi Pete,

we can supply all the parts you would need and fix it for you as we do crash repairs here

we actually have the same colour parts so you would save $$ on painting

or we could be interested in buying the car depending on price

if you would like any more info give me a call on 8347 0111

cheers

Steve

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
