Though the smash repairers may take it in doesnt mean it will be fixed. If it has been assessed, it was to see who is at fault. Once it gets assessed, it will be assessed again once the smash repairs give insurance a quote, then it will be a write off. Not to shoot down your hopes but I got my hopes up too..

Tara, get it written off.

The inside of a GTS-t is VERY flimsy and that hit has definitely twisted the interior of the engine bay around.

I just did a lot of work straightening the front end on a 33GTSt that took a really small hit.

The rear end is also a MASSIVE hit, the only way to repair that is a cut and shut, it will never be the same again.

Depending on what they want for a buy back, you should consider getting it back and parting it out.

You need to find a new love!

Your car is like a long term girlfriend - once they are rear-ended by someone else, the relationship will never be the same again no matter how much you try and patch things up!

:P

Thanks for yr reply,yeah I know,the car wont be the same after a smash like that.Its written off now,had a few problems with the insurance company,they didn't even know what date they came to check car...lol.

First they said repair,So had to take car to smash repairers.Then said yep we wrote car off the day we saw it..Its now gone to the Financial Ombudsman.

They gave me a salvageprice,which sounded good,but the company wont pick up their ph...lol..

The places I call gave me half the price to take car,So insurance company is trying to keep more..hahahha,crazy..

My engine is good,so thinking abt buying a shell.. :no:

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
