So i was involved in a head-on accident on my way to work 4 weeks ago and the insurance company has been kind enough to let me keep the car and dispose of it myself. It is a financial write-off. Im no panel beater so i couldnt tell you for sure if the chassis is bent but im going to hazard a guess and say that it is. As you can see in the photos, the front end is pretty much f**ked. The engine block might be ok but im fairly certain most of the other engine components are going to be cactus. Gearbox might be ok or may be suited for a cheap rebuild if you can do it yourself, not real sure. Best bet is to come have a look. So before the accident the car used to be a:

'95 R33 GTSt S1.5

130,000 kms

Black

Manual

Nistune ECU

5-Zigen turbo back 3in exhaust

FMIC

Pod air filter

Splitfire Coils

Tomei 600hp GTR Fuel pump

Turbosmart Boost controller

Nismo Short Shifter

Excedy Heavy Duty Clutch

Apexi Boost Gauge

Was pumping out a healthy 217rwkw on 12psi with the standard turbo.

I dont have any tools to pull the car apart, nor do i have any room to store parts so im hoping to get rid of the whole thing in one go. Its sitting on the street with no plates so its only a matter of time before i start receiving complaints from the neighbours.

$1.5k in Sydney's Northern Beaches.

Sorry mate , looks bad.I need engine harness.Is there anyway you unplug and sell it ?

Im going to try and sell the whole thing as is first, if not gone in a week or so ill pull the more expensive parts off and sell them separately. Shall shoot you a PM if that happens.

For those that have asked, no the car will not start, and yes it can be re-registered if you wanted to fix it up.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
