Should go to the police too, and report the incident. That way you can have a police report to back you up in court, and that dude will also get a fine for the accident

I tried calling them straight after the accident, didn't want a bar of it since no one was injured.

even if you go to the trouble of courts etc you might only end up with $50 a month if the blokes got no money, get ya 3k off insurance by it back part it out and move on.

sure as shit aint getting 7-8k for a busted asshole of car.

good luck brah.

Not having a go but I just have to ask how is a n/a auto 34 (GTV or not) worth 14-16k? What p plater would pay that much?

Just part it out, dont think you'll find anyone wanting to buy a potential write off plus shagged auto, just think of the headaches to get it fixed etc

This is why VIC is shit as you dont have to have compulsory insurance, would avoid head f**ks like this.

Tis what they're worth mate. The standard 25GT is about 4k less but yea, 14k mark for a GTV, and the autos tend to be more expensive. I'm a P plater and I got it for 14.5k @ 60000Kms originally. Bit of a story but I had to spend that much and I'm stuck on an auto license so i grabbed it.

I'd say autos are worth less with these cars, N/A or not... Or are you saying just GTV auto's command more money?

Regardless I hope you can make the best of what is a pretty shit situation. Good luck brah.

Unfortunately GTv is nowhere near 14k - Even for a straight and good condition one. An honest 12k tops with 80,000km to 100,000km range - anything higher IMHO is a rip off.

Auto versions of n/a are actually cheaper by around 1K.

I'd imagine most people wanting a GTv would be a P plater and most wouldn't want to screw around with getting a damaged one fixed. I'd also imagine most P platers wouldn't know the difference between a GT and GTv, all they would care is to ensure it is non-turbo.

Good luck with the sale though.

But going off from your description on the damage sounds like a write off :(

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
