... 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.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
