looks like the motor stopped the car....doesnt start does it?? does it even crank....dont recommend trying it...but i assume you already tried...really need open bonnet pics to see how bad the damage is....i guess no insurance? would the inexperienced driver be your partner?

would be repairable...probably about 7k worth of damage to the body....dunno bout the motor until you can that bonnet up, the rails could be kinked/bent aswell...sucks either way....everyone alright??

Thanks for all the replies. Answers to all the questions...

Will post more pics shortly.

Had an offer of $3k, seems like a fair price to me.

Can't be bothered parting out.

Doesn't start or crank, yes I tried.

Missus was driving, bruised nicely but that's it. We bought it for her on Tuesday night. Went from an NA 4x4 sedan to this and just wasn't ready.

Uninsured due to owning it less than 24 hours before accident. Big F for Fail.

No real mods.

mattsr33 did the same thing begining of last year i think. cost him (or his dad) about half of what u think. get a new radiator support, bonnet, front bar and a couple of other bits and get it going again. better than loosing im guessing 8 to 9 grand on a bingle. parts can be found pretty cheap around here if you look

You posted this on Antilag as well yeah?

If it didn't hit the firewall, get a panel beater to have a look at it in person for you, if it's not a structural write off, then find an emtpy (or remnants) off an R33 halfcut and get a welder to do some cash work for you.

Chase down front end parts that were damaged, put it all back together, get it going.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
