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.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
