and thats where people go wrong. over inflated prices.

Mate I work in remarketing and auctions with pickles and Mannheim, through Mercedes Benz. It's called average whole sale as compared to rrp. Pickles will sell at a lesser rate due to their valuations being at average whole sale. But when you compare 33s to 34s there is quite a difference in price so average whole sale on a damaged 34 is still quite high for what it is. I wouldn't see that 34 going for any less that $3k especially since its repairable.

That 33 on the other hand may sell for $50-$100 for the panels. If not, it will get scrapped

If bought for $50-100 you'd make a profit on just selling the front mount and sending the rest to sims.

Most definitely. But it's not just buying for $100, theres also a holding fee towing etc. then the time to scrap part and all the other shit. The only people to benefit would be a private buyer, and shop to buy it it's more of a loss than a gain.

im not arguing with auction prices, im saying car sales is over inflated bullshit.

id pay a grand for that 33. wouldnt touch that 34 that yellow is stinking.

If you've got 1k to spend and are happy to spend up to then seriously go to the auction. Or atleast inspect it. You'll be suprised at how little it will cost you.

You'd benefit from the 34 a lot more if you parted and sold bits!

Your car might but your hip pocket won't. I finished wrecking an S1 GTST recently, barely broke even cus I kept all the good bits for myself.

that in itself is profit, because you wouldnt have had to spend the coin getting those bits separately.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
