... surely you can rip the parts off the wreck to put onto the new beast?

...what I was thinking after CRD and you made some serious mods.

...and a convertible might not be a bad idea either, upon buying back the wreck.

i reckon thats fix able, just cut the roof off and weld have a new one welded on, new rear window and any other bits that got broke, and re spray it. what auctions is it going to?

Well from the pics you can see turret, both rear fenders (looks like damage to both rear pillars), rear screen, headlining and rear spoiler. Those parts alone exceed $10k. Then there's any parts you can't see in the pics which i'm sure there would be. Add to that the cost of labour and you can start to see why it has been written off.

also don't forget you can no longer re-register 'repairable' write offs in nsw any more. :/ too many fkers using the scheme to re-birth stolen cars as opposed to poor mechanics who bought financial write offs and repaired them nicely in the hope of making an honest buck.

    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia body...
    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
