Hey everyone.

Hoping to get some help here and hope this is in the right section. Had the misfortune of losing control and crashing into a tree in the rain (yes i know stupid and definitely could of been prevented if i had more experiece). Anyway no other cars/persons were hurt thankfully and the crash was at a relatively low speed.

I mashed the right side front end pretty bad. Bumper cover is done, right headlight and had to replace the bumper bar as well. Also looks like my radiator/intercooler is done (the right side intercooler piping split pretty good). Just so happens my buddy is swapping parts so I have all the parts i need, and the car is in the shop getting sorted. Just worried about unseen engine issues now.

Anyway after the accident I tried starting the car twice and it would turn over but die after like 2 seconds. Was wondering if anyone knows what can cause this? The car should start and stay on even if the intercooler piping is compromised right?

Thanks.

need the air flow meter to run properly so if you have too much of a 'hole' in your intercooler system between the AFM and the intake manifold then its possible this is your problem. Also i think there is some earthing wries in that end that also might need to be double checked. Iv had the same symptoms as yours before when i disconnected the earthing wires next to the thermostat...

      Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.

      Of course it would be - But you shouldn't be here.

      This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.

      Does the r33 have a cabin filter?

      None on 33s.

      I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
