how much did it cost you to fix it all up ?

Lost count....heres a quick run down from the top of my head

$2000 front

$1300 new bonnet

$1000 new front chassis rails

$450 new K frame

$110 new condensor fan shroud

$450 new left fender

$1000 paint materials

$1000 various new parts from nissan(windscreen moulds,full badge set,bonnet hinges,metal fender mounts,assorted bolts/fasteners and heaps of other crap

$2000 used parts...airflow meters,airbox assembly,radiator,condensor,aircon compressor+aircon pipes,airbags+module,dash pad,seatbelts,lower control arms plus heaps of small stuff

stuff that i have saved/repaired from the car are Driveshafts,right hand fender and left hand door was repaired,i broke the centre housing of front turbo but i had a spare one and had to buy a replacement compressor wheel $200....some of the engine pulleys were damaged so i made some up....the engine had shifted about 30 degrees to the right therefore smashing a hole in the GReddy inlet manifold(it hit the brake booster)Just welded it up and linished it back.

Other stuff i have added on are not really smash related such as engine parts etc with the exception of a Trust intercooler which was needed but i spose i didnt really need an aftermarket jobby......Oh and beleive it or not i managed to save the original front bumper cover!A friend had a good left hand side and i had a good right,so i cut it in half and welded it togetherI guess i have spent roughly 10k??I have been rather anal in assembling replacing stuff thats only scratched or dirty bolts ect

best 10k that ever got spent on a car I reckon... hey troy, quick question, are you covered by insurance on the repairs seeing as it was the merc's (i think it was a merc, not sure) fault right?

Man no offense but i dont think you smashed into a merc. you prob smashed into a tree or something but anyway its funny how you said he pays his i pay mine. no insurence company works like that. from the top of my head and many others. who evers fault it is REPAIRS anything damaged to both people.

for example if i get my corolla and runinto a lambo. he pays for his repairs and i walk away with a damaged up corolla ? hmm wierd man no offense!

Looks like Magnum PI here has found me out.....i staged the whole thing......we may even get an oscar for our perfomance,Thanks for trying to cover for me james and monkey....sorry to deceive you all :)

i didnt fix it,i wished really hard for santa to take it away and put it on his caroliner and give it a bit of a tug for me,but he was too busy.However the aliens abducted it and it came back like new

Duck dodgers also came back from the 24th and a half century and installed a few elctronic gadgets :)

got the software, gettin a powerFC (got access to one for testing as well) need to make an interface for PowerFC to computer for software to us. Do you know much about Excel workshops in japan and the equipment they use? Or know anyone that can get me info on how to make an interface?

gohan i did get your pms,sorry i been a bit busy lately....however what your asking is a only a one off job for me and i would have to charge you a large sum....i understand more people may want the products but i am really not that interested in trying to get money out of people as most people want stuff done for a bowel of rice these days!Not saying you do,just not interested in making moulds and modifying them for such a job and then trying to work them

    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
