its crazy they pay out cars with so little damage the cost of the parts from nissan must be huge. 10k atleast..

my guess is about 8-10k auction price..

someone could have a nice looking axis for about 15k on the road.. however not in nsw.

Yeah the quote he received for new parts was fairly excessive. You could technically have it on the road for a lot less, but I think to repair a write off you need proof that quality parts were used? Either way, the breakdown for new parts was:

New parts from NISSAN japan come to a total of $14K.....

brief breakdown;

Bonnet - $3.7K

LH Headlamp - $2.2K

Bumper - $2.3K

Grille - $1.8K

Radiator support panel - $1.4K

Quality parts no, just need to provide receipts of parts used.. this was done to stop the people stealing cars. stripping them out, buying them back at auction and re fitting all the parts.. good ol sneaky Bankstown eh?

will have to long on soon to check it out.. will be up around 1pm today

will let you all know here what it makes..

Gents, this was my wifey's old Axis....definitely was only cosmetic damage but got paid out and 48hrs funds were in my account. It went for $3200. Ins offered it back to me for $6K.

The guy that purchased it was a panel beater so lucky for him all his labour to get it back on the road was free. It did still set him back about $5K in parts. It was going to cost me all up $10-11K to have back on the road AND having said that it will of have the repairable writeoff against it's VIN history.....

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
