Justcar, Market Value I think. I should find out today.

Yeah just be very carefull, I was originaly told they would only give me around 21k and I hit the roof, my car was mint! I spent 2 months at aution looking for the right one. Low low k's, sunroof, mags, exhaust etc. Yeah you can pick them up for low 20's now but we are taking Aus market value not inporting from japan. If the quote you low let me know and you can have all the paper work I chased up.

Thanks Adz, that'd be great. I hate the waiting though... I just want to know where I stand.

Yeah I know what u mean, my heart and tummy were all knotted waiting. It's the worst part, once you know whats happening at least you can deal with it but I'll assure you they will not fix it. It's not ecconomical. Wha you gonna get next? I was thinking of another S2 after my prang but then I didn't think that could replace it as I'd just compare them with each other too much.

I would agree that it will probably be a write off.

We got a quote for a brand new rear windscreen for a 34 a couple of months back and that was $1,500 it may have even been before freight costs [ex Japan].

However, my previous car was involved in a bad accident [not my fault], total cost of repair was approx $7K - cars market value at the time was no more than $10K.

I have heard that most ins. co's go off a figure of about 70% of total cost, if its more they will consider write-off...of course if the car is not structurally sound then that can do the trick also.

NS2500,

i'm curious, did your head came to contact with the airbag ?

No it didn't, because the hit was nose-to-nose in the middle of the intersection the airbags deployed as I was being shunted to the side, so I wasn't being forced forward like in a head-on crash.

sweet... start stripping it for parts for your next car...

 

lemme know if u want any help importing one from japan.

Can't strip any parts, Justcar is paying me out so they own it.

The wreck is for sale for $5000-$8000. I'll be getting the final salvage price on Monday as a buddy of mine is interested in using it for track work.

if the roof is buckled then its a write off for sure.

I want it to be a write-off, I don't believe it can be repaired to same standard (which was immaculate). I've added a couple more photos - what do you guys think? The roof has buckled in parts.

Also, on the current policy it's insured for 23k, on the renewal next month it's only 18k so it's just the right time. :D

Hey same as me, did it skin the front of your nose? I looked like Rudolph for 2 weeks :Oops:

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
