Definately go through insurance. I was going to fix mine private (luckily decided not too)

fe62fe28a25b11e1ab011231381052c0_7.jpg

This turned out to be $12,000 fix.

I haven't seen my car now for two months. It's apparantly coming back next week though.

I'd rather get insurance to sort out everything. Get them to source / fit. Give them about 2-3 weeks i hope... Dying without my car but =(

I figured this too. Two months later and no car. My legs hurt and I miss my baby.

Dropped it off today. He said it could be up to 4 months!

Haha, think his over exaggerating, but i know a lot of parts are hard to find.

Told him that i can try source parts and he said he can respray or w/e is needed for them, so see how things go!

I'm presuming at least 1 month would be how long they will realistically have my car.

The wait begins!

My repairs came to 9k when I had an accident. Took 11 weeks to complete the job.

Bonnet

Guard

Headlight

Front bar

Reo

Rad support

Intercooler

Radiator

Piping

Inner wheel arch

LCA

bushes

bolts

etc etc

All the small things add up to alot especially all the bits and pieces they have to buy new from Nissan, just the plastic clips and brackets for the front bar are over $100.

It wasnt a big hit either.

Same with mine, Wasn't a big hit.

12 grand & 9 weeks later, My shoes are just about worn out.

If the quote comes back around the $10k mark, Get prepared for a write off. Insurance companies are partial to writing a car off once the damage gets to 80% of its valued worth.

You might want to research that first..

An insurance company will only write a vehicle off if the cost of repairs and the salvage value exceed the sum insured or the market value.

Unless the vehicle is a stat write off. (unsafe to repair)

Crap i sure hope it doesn't cost more than 8k to fix my front...

Would hate to be uninsured... pay 5k + to fix the car which is about 40% worth of the car lol.

Hoping for the best! Still waiting for the repairers to call me back when they get their quote done trying to source parts.

PS - Already told them i can try to source parts and requested for a print out of the parts needed so i can start looking.

Got told only after they get their quote, which means that will never happen lol.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
