Both Waterford Panel Beater and Kudos Motorsports have been more than helpful in assisting during the whole insurance claim and helping me decide whether or not to go ahead with the restore work on the gtr. Unfortunately the cost of restore is more than what I would like to pay.

Waterford Panel Beater

James is a down to earth person with a passion for restoring cars to excellent condition, kinda reminds me of Dan from ERD. Unfortunately I've decided to not keep to car but I am sure he will do a good job if I did. This is based on the work I see him do and reviews from friends. My experience with him has been nothing but good. He is a busy man but never fails to follow up on request and I do feel bad interrupting him during work. Before the accident I thought only Cameron Body Works the only go to for panel work but now I know where to bring my next car to should I need any work done.

Andrew is quick and positive about everything. The list of parts I gave him wasnt exactly easy but he manage to turn that around within 3days with a really good price too. To anyone after parts, definitely give Andrew a go. I have bought parts from him in the past and he's been extremely helpful all the time. He's just located at Gold Coast which makes collection easy too.

Cheers.

Sad to hear about the end result for you, really... Cameron's bodyworks? If only I could take back the 7g I paid for a respray and paint it myself with a roller

Ant: I was involved in a 4 car accident on my car to Dreamworld. The car in front of me was too close to the car in front and jammed brake. I don't think I'd get out of it even if I were to go through it again because I was a good 3-4 car behind her. Anyway that's all history.

Nooba: That's what he said to me when he bought it off me. I was actually looking for someone to restore it and if I cant find anyone, I'll let it go to someone that's gonna wreck it. Anyway that's disappointing but it's his car anyway.

Hopefully the inspection will go well tomorrow for my next car. Else I'll just be driving around in a 4cyc turbo diesel until I got money for a R34 M-Spec NUR.

thats a real shame. Brandon. I recall an accident happening around dreamworld a few weeks ago.

Only just realised you had an N1

Such a shame. At least you have insurance

Best of luck with the NUR spec mate

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
