look at my S2 1998. hit by little boy last nite.

how much it cost to fix it.

anyone think it will be total loss?

my friend said the all the damage need to get a new parts. it is too hard to fix it.

if total loss, how much the insureance will pay me? I paid 17000for it 2 year ago. and I have third party insureance only.

You answered your own question third party insurance only covers the third party - that is not you , and the only way that's a write off (which is irrelevant "third party" means no money for a write off) is if the rear damage has affected the chassis ( they will likely just pull it straight) on the bright side u probably only need a new front quarter panel and rear door the rest can be repaired and repainted talk to a panel beater and my bet is they will say just that, and cost depends on what u do yourself and the panel beaters mood, still a pain in the arse though good luck with it all.

If someone hit you, then they are liable to cover the cost of the repairs. Hopefully they have at a minimum, 3rd party. At a glance, it doesn't look too bad, but considering that the damage includes the rear arch/door guard, it will increase the cost of the repair significantly.

Disregard what you paid for hte car 2 years ago, look at what the car is currently insured for. Once you figure that out, you will get an idea of how much damage will be required to write it off. In my opinion, it will not be a right off, but the damage to the reat makes it a bit more difficult to judge.

mate if someone hit you then their insurance company (if they are insured) will have to pay for repairs or pay-out the market value of the vehicle if written off. aslong as you got all their details i would take it to afew panel beater joints (up market ones) and get about 3 repair quotes (if repairable) and forward them to his insurance company.

might just be the angle of the photo and the changed shape of the rear door/gaurd - but it looks like your rear wheel might be a bit out.....if so, then if i were you i'd be praying for a write off because once a car has it's suspension knocked out it's never really the same - esp with the complicated HICAS rear ends.....

but you might be lucky. i had a skyline written off, bought the wreck, then sourced all the replacement parts and took it to a panel beater - cost me 3k to fix it, and i got a full respray! so there is always opportunity for a win ;-)

rear dogleg is smashed to f**k. You would be mad to try and fix that. IMO you should pray for a write off

and if the cost of parts isbased on prices from Nissan (and it will being an import) then it will get written off

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
