That sucks man! I think ianmack79 jynx'd you with his post above!!

Unfortunate to see a clean Skyline take a hit like such, what do plan to do?

the crash happened on 01/08/15. took from then until 25/08/15 with insurance company before an end result was settled.

got quote for repair, Just Car decided they wouldn't fix the car (but they are not writing it off) due to any repairs made would be unwarrantable (their reasoning was my cars paint condition and the extensive custom modifications done to the car...)

final result is i get a cash settlement for the value of the repair quote (less my excess and any admin fees). keep the car with rego and i fix it myself.

Noooooo! Devastating to see this! I know how your feeling, hope I didn't jinx you like the post above says. Hopefully the damage isn't too bad.

apart from the obvious cosmetic/panel damage it was to bad. snapped caster arm, bent LCA, bent engine crossmember, rad support, intercooler and piping. etc

Shit mate.

You going to repair?

i have done most of the repairs myself already or at least bought parts needed. it will never be what it was. plan is fix it enough to be 'presentable' on the street but no go all out with whole new GTR front end/fresh paint.

street/track the car then probably sell it or part it out. see how we go...

I attacked the rust then covered with some kill rust before hitting the whole bay with Primer gave the whole thing a rub down and clean before laying down the first layer of base coat.

Next event was a drift day out at Mallala. After some struggles early in the day I was told to try and wind in some more toe out. Good improvement at turn in and mid corner for the higher speed bigger

Of all the places I could have done the damage I was lucky. Further forwards and I'd have done some suspension and wheel damage, further back the the boot/beaver, tail light and rear bar. Took it

Everything is fixable - just depends on how much kesh you want to throw on it.

It's looking heaps better.

Yeah trying to keep it on the cheap to fix. Leaving at a point where if I want I can part it out and get some of my money back out of it haha

Started to work more on the car today. internet has been slow and dropping in and out, this worked as good reason for me to get off my ass and do something on the car.

pulled the stock seats out and gave the interior a clean and put the brides back in.

rear seats still need a clean and to go back in but snapped this semi-stripped interior photo (because racecar?)

Also started to try and buff some of the scratches out of the front bar. not that it really matters with all the drift stitch going on

Spewing about the crash, one of the cleaner 32's in the state, good to see it's being repaired though. Seen it only a few times but always liked it.

Insurance is always a pain in the ass to deal with. Dealt with them before, feel your pain.

      Don't leave a wrapped skyline out in the sun

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I could show you guys photos of wrap having been removed properly, and where the wrap was removed, paint underneath is perfect. Sections of the vehicle didn't have wrap on it, and in those areas, the paint work is destroyed because of how long it had been sitting in the hot QLD sun for many many many years. Wrap even still looked decent. Good quality wrap, and removing it properly shouldn't rip off the paint work, unless the paintwork was already shot to pieces before hand.

      R33 Window motor replacement (not switch or amp)

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Any write ups on replacing the window motor?  I've never messed with them (or window regulators) before.   Ever since I've had the car, the driver window would roll down just fine, but most often I'd have the try a few times to get it to go up.  As soon as it started to go up, it always goes up smoothly and quietly.  Seemed like a bad switch.  But now, its stuck in the fully down position and won't come back up.  I get =12/-12V coming out of the relay/amp when pressing the switch up/down.  So the switch and amp are working.  Just a bad motor.  I've also applied 12V directly to the motor and nada.   Any help on replacing the motor?  Can the glass and regulator stay in, and only replace the motor?  Or not possible?  Thanks!!!

      You are wrong. That's just Whiteline going along with the incorrect slanguage of the sheeple userbase. They are only correctly known as anti-roll bars. They are only incorrectly known as swaybars. They do do anything to prevent "sway". The swaybars that are fitted to trailler hitches do prevent sway. In the trailer. And they do not look like anti-roll bars. So, take your incorrect infopinion away.
