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

post-61447-0-67026200-1359439562_thumb.gif

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.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
