Hey all,

Well my beloved skyline was involved in a rather nasty accident yesterday. I was the not at fault driver but with my luck, the other driver has no insurance. What can I do? Strip the car and sell it I guess.

Damage is mainly to the rear of the passenger door. The back seats are buckled. Windows are smashed etc. Luckily no one in the car. I turned right on green arrow, she never saw her red light. I was in 2nd gear so boost didn't feel like coming on.

I'm putting it up here for parts. Basically everything inside out can go. If you want things tell me what you're after and ill get a price. It would be great if you're in Sydney coz you could come and check and pick out what you need. Motor, gearbox, wheels, exhaust, steering wheel, seats, springs, ecu. There's alot. Make offers. I might not start the stripping part until the police report comes back.

Just something on the legal side, I plan to sue once the police report comes in stating she was at fault. Am I required to keep the car in one piece?

Contact me for mobile number

yeh man, i'd take a crap load of photos of both the car and the accident site, and keep it in one piece for now until the police come back to you with thier report.... seeing as she has no insurance, she probably has no money either... so not sure how far sueing her will get you.... but still definatly do it... unfortunatly she might just be forced to give you $100 a month for the next 10 years, depending on her financial situation ... or something stupid like that

+1 on keeping the car in 1 piece til proceedings are done with the police etc.

However when you do part it out I'd be interested in the driver's side window motor and glass. Did it have the stock seats in it too? ;)

Hey mate, conditions of the rotors/calipers front and rear

I think I've seen you around Parramatta a few times, it was a really nice looking car ;)

Glad you made it out okay

That said, how much for the gtr spoiler? and if yours is ok, the drivers side plastic mould for the switches, and drivers side seat - condition?

Many thanks, ROb

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
