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

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • 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".
