i would not be suprised for a second if its not classed as a write off seriously.. its not a 25k repair there.

only on the basis of how many are in country and the parts being all imported that it will be classed as a write off.. if this was japan that wouldnt be.

sump aside have you checked for any serious damage... its supposed to drop the engine from the mounts on purpose in a front end smash allowing the sump to smash on the ground ..which actually protects the motor and gearbox from frontal impact. thats the clever design of these.

didnt notice the motor oil mixed with the tranny oil sorry. thought it just mightve been coolant and tranny oil.

its a writeoff 100% no doubt about that. i sent the photos to my brother he will confirm this for sure.

the repair doesnt have to = 25k

just remember that all parts need to be new from nissan.. factor that into the costs and you will be getting your insurance payment soon!

very true...and good point.

Its sad to see! hopefully he can pick up an even newer one now.. or something better?

this is @ pickles in brisbane at the moment. someone farted near the front bar and its now written off.. it doesnt take much as you can see.

Our old maxima had $7k damage and it was a ti 2003 maxima it was written off.. We got 16k I'm not complaining though coz that's how I became a stagea owner!!!!

It doesn't hav to be much damage they factor everything in like for yours the time involved to source parts and also there can also be the chance of structual damage that is undiscovered they would rather write it off in case a serious accident is caused later due to this then the insurance company can be liable.. They have so much money to them it's no loss over a few thousand bucks..

GT High Performance

Thats the bitch that rorted me for my car.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2000-Nissan-Stagea-...=item3361c56ef7

which is still for sale with 80,000kms, when i won the case and it should have 150,000 minimum

and a 6 speed gear box, thats a new one

stay well clear.

Finally after a bit of mucking around and waiting, it is a write off.

The offer from pickles is a joke for the wreck, even the assessor told me to see what I can yet privately.

Anyone interested? Has nismo s-tune suspension and sound control exhaust.

Wow, dude, it's been almost 2 months! What the hell? Even an amateur can tell that that's a write-off, surely mounting a median strip and wiping out that fence would have caused structural damage, not to mention hitting the other car...

Might be interested in the turbo if you are parting it? PM?

I am open to offers, if I can make a bit extra out of it for my next m35 and help someone out with parts it is all a win win situation.

Offer is only open for a few days and then I will just let pickles take it for the measely $820 lol

820? ur kidding right? u meant 8200 right?

I'm happy to chip in if someone wants to buy it. I'd be interested in the suspension...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
