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.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
