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:

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣

      Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
