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

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
