yep repairable writeoff from hailstorm

the car is at pickles auctions

Not sure on the actual process involved but you could just buy it back for cheap and then drive it?

Sounds like win, get a cash payout and keep car. What's a few dents anyway :D

yep when your car is written off, at least in hail damage you get the option to buy the car back

you get two options

option 1 - loose car and they pay out the policy value, agreed or market depending on what you selected

option 2 - you keep the car and they pay out policy value minus the cars new damaged value

in my case, whilst the damaged value was low, it still wasnt low enough to be useful given the car had so many km's on it and general wear and tear

the agreed value was pretty high considering the car (97 gtst with 250k on the clock) so it was much more worthwhile for me to loose the car.

if i kept the car i would have been stuck with it full of dints and basically unsellable (it was almost unsellable before the hail dmg) so happy to a chance to get rid of it.

i get a chance to get a new normal car (non 2-door and non-loud car) and play with a better car after married and some work on the house.

yeah i wasnt out to gouge the market

besides it was previously repaired so its not "as new" but still working 100%

i was happy with 700 and to see it gone

as long as the other parts sell off ill be v happy

the boost kit should go for sure

the rsm will

the vafc is a bit unsure

and the turbo timer wil

all the auctions i put were the minimum id happily take

so if i get 1 bid im happy

i dont believe in starting auctions at mega low prices to try and entice people

just start it at the minimum you would accept and let it go

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
