its just had the front damage (to me it just seems to be panels)

airbags also deployed(regarding changing the airbags is it just swaping the airbag in the cabin or u have to change the whole srs system with sensors?)

i know panel beaters that are cheap or i should say cheaper, but u wont get a fantastic result.

also how much is it worth to buy? and if anyone has a r34 that'spost-72334-0-09867800-1310660329_thumb.jpg wrecking please step forward.

pics are attached

any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you are insured and they have made it a right off, get a new one! but take all the parts off it that you want to keep even sell off some, if not find out how much it would cost to get back on the road the make your own call

I'd be skeptical of it just being 'panel' damage.

I've seen first hand hits with less damage that have done some major bending of rails and all sorts once you get it apart and have a good look/decent fix. I mean anything can be fixed 'on the cheap', but you'll have to compromise somewhere.

Also as the airbags went off i believe there might be more involved?

Troy or someone else will know more on the topic.

What are the A, and B pillars like? Also the roof.

Any kinks = no deal.

Guards

Bonnet

Entire Rad and Light support (this is spot welded in)

Head Lights (?)

Front bar

Intercooler

Radiator

Airbag sensors

Entire Dash (i think this is the only way to replace the bag on the passenger side?)

Radiator fan (?)

That is what you can see.

You will want to check out the front sub frame to make sure it hasnt moved / engine mounts are still in one piece.

If the panels further back are ok and the engine mounts and subframe is ok, $5k???

It's a 1998 and requires ViV.

it's for sale thinking of buying it and slowly fixing it my self, from my understanding aribags won't cost me more than 300-400 replace second hand and then it's mainly panel damage. I haven't looked at the car yet.

I'm not going to touch it if it has any rail roof or pillar damage.

Should I avoid this u guys think? Toomuch stuffing around?

Haha for a viv you need receipts of all the parts used to repair the vehicle, airbag system reset by the manufacturer along with costly inspections to make sure none of the structural parts have been stressed or welded.

I Pranged my 34 was a lot less damage than this airbags didn't go off is 11k in repairs.

I wouldn't bother with this one mate the amount of work you'd have to put into it wouldn't be worth it. The whole front is caved airbags will cost 2k atleast.

Sell what you can and scrap the rest cars done.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
