A fire truck crushed my Skyline. I am now looking for answers on what to do next, sell as is, sell wheels and replace them with stock, towbar and other aftermarket extras or part out the car.

Can anyone offer me any advice with their experience

Here is the car as is

Radaitor support, front bar reo, cooler piping, bonnet, left and right quarter panels, lhs steering arm, lhs rim damaged.

I have already been informed that it will buff out, but im not attempting it

Thanks for the advice everyone.

I would like to part it out but I dont have time. Does anyone have any estimate on what its worth in parts?

Anyone interested in buying it and parting it let me know

Engine and gearbox is worth about $2000

If you dont have time to fix or part it out try sell as is for about $3000?

Repair it if you have the time and can DIY

I have a series 2 r33 that i bought off another sau member on here few months back with nearly the same amount of damage (yours is a bit worse but mine was still listed as written off), iv'e repaired it and has set me back about $200 or so on parts for rhs steering rack, shockers and control arms were damaged iv'e replaced them and it drives straight now however i still need headlight, guard, the car needs viv so i wont be getting that and will be turning it into a track car.

Iv'e added a photo of how i got the car with the damage

The OPs car is waaaaaaaay worse than the car you bought from the looks of it.

I had an S1 with a bit less damage than yours and couldn't shift it for $3k. Ended up swapping it for a very neat 2001 R1.

    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
