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.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • 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.
