repairable write-off

Someone correct me here, but I thought a write off was the situation when the repairs are more expensive than the agreed value of the car?!

I can't see how a new roof and shit, even considering it's a brand new, top of the range car, would cost >140k.

Yeah? No?

give me a second and I'll log into the shop :D I have current LOCAL and JAP FAST loaded there and I can acess a price database fairly easiily.

ok:

G3112-JF0MA - roof panel $1500

731D0-JF00A - roof reiniforcement $1000

73910-JF21A - Roof lining $1000.

79700-JF30B - rear Glass kit - unable to price.

thats a starting point. I have about half a page pf things that 'could' be damaged on it.

in reality I can see $10k in parts myself. especially if it got into the SRS and electrical system.

given that the car has curtains and seat bags and that the curtains are bolted from the rear of the car I'd suggest that they are also part of the write off quote.

power to someone buying it and fixing it. it certainly will not be a cheap evercise.

Guys, both quarter panels are gone, they are welded to the chassis, boot is gone, spoiler gone, roof gooooone, windscreen, interior is completely ruined including seats, glass has scratched the thing to pieces - at $60 k the repair would have to come under about $55 k to make it worthwhile. The car has had a very big impact so suspect some chassis damage, I wouldnt race it with that sort of damage, and at $60 k, do the math.......

get the angles right on camera and you could look as nuts as the boys off jackass...taking a chainsaw to the roof

when you're done hacking it off, whack an awesome cage in it (easy access), and then do a full carbon fibre roof.

job done.

edit - previous owner says it's bent like a banana....dream over.

looking further at that - rear quarters both sides ( I had these pegged for replacing.) and prettly much all the hardware attached to them.

G8100-JF0MA - REAR FENDER RH - $2600.

G8101-JF0MA - REAR FENDER LH - $2600.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
