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.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
