whats the damage? my 34 was written off recently simply for the fact that they cannot source the parts or it costed too much to source the bits. I could have fixed it myself for about 2.5k. although I rekon my hit was at about 10-20 Ks. it still ran fine and was in mint condition but still written off.

Just re-read your post, if she hit you at 80KMPH, definate write off hands down. pics would be good too. where are you located?

Cannot see Pic yet Tara.

I presume you got rear-ended?

A write-off is more likely if you've been T-boned - due to rail & B-pillar damage > terminally lost

If your car has been rear-ended and it's scewed, a panelbeater with a robot can realign its configuration to near perfect.

But it'll depend too on how much your car is insured for Vs how much the repair will cost on your R33 GTS-T (give or take)...

I saw yr post after I wrote mine,sorry abt yr loss..Do u have any pic?

I still cant believe that mine is gone,I stand at the car,just staring at it...Had so much trouble,must b a vic thing, tow guy wanted cash on the spot,$260,I said i can pay by credit card, i wanted my car brought hm... He said nope cash only,took to depo and gave me a infor on my rights, which I read in da morning.. He was meant to accept card or aggree for me to pay later.. Rang vic roads,the guy and company got there ass kicked, and brought my car hm, i didt have to pay any towing...I grew up in syd, now in mel... It really suxs here...lots of sunday drivers...

We brought another car, ford xr6, but just not like a skyline, hate drivin it, and sooo many around..

nah man, I'm quite sure that would be a write off unless you are insured for about 10x the value. your front damage appears to be very similar to mine.

See attached. My car was insured at the exact value i got it for. repair bill JUST for that would have been well over $10K (as they said anyway, but another assessor on here has told me that it also depends on the repairer you go to, and that the one I went to was more of a General repairer. There was an import specialist like 30CM away that I could have went to and MAY have not got it written off).

Are u for really,maybe it will gt fixed... What should I put out? If I take the Stereo out,do I need to replace it..

As usual, i forget to attach photos. but uploading soon. Is your car insured for under or close to $10k?

Edit: Photo attached.

Also take out any non-standard bit if you can, swap the wheels with stock. I wouldn't go too far to mess with any mechanical though like your exhaust or whatever mods you got in your engine bay but

Thats a write off

You cant fart on the car without the damage exceeding the cars wholesale value

On a good note that looks like easy fix it was a pretty square hit so the unibody wouldnt be to far twisted , buy it back and redo it even better!!

Hi Tara,

Your accident reminds me of my accident a few years ago with my previous car. I was at the lights when out of no where a truck rear ended my car and pushed my car right into the 4wd in front of me. My cars ass was at least 4 feet in the air at the point of impact and i suffered some whiplash out of it. My damage was worse than yours, every single panel on the car was damaged, except for the doors, roof and left rear quarter. I still remember watching my car being towed away with the right rear wheel just barely dangling from the axle...

But here's the thing, my car actually got repaired. It wouldn't have been if it wasn't for my smash repairer (who was my family friend). My smash repairer dealt with every single part of the process (paper work, insurance, assessor etc.). The assessor kept saying to me that the car was a write off (because the value of the repairs (14k) exceeded the value of the car (12k)), he kept insisting that i receive the payout and scrap the car.But my family friend is a very sly dude and spoke his way to convincing the assessor, so i guess i got lucky

If you want pics i can send them to you

Thats k..Lol,I was lookin everywher for yr pic...yr car doest look like it has much damage..any engine damage?.. My car is insured for more then 10. We were looking at buying another skyline before,to do mods on....we did't want to do any mods,cos its a 40th anniv...

Hi France..Thanks for yr reply..wow.that sounds like a really bad accident..how fast was the truck going? Yes please send me some pic.. So how much did the repairs cost all up.. Does the car drive the same?do u still have it..can u see any damage or panels out of place..How is yr neck now.... Yeah I got whiplash too,already have 2bad shoulders,now this...Not happy Tara..

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
