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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
