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!

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..

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

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
