Hey guys need help smashed 33

Hey guys,

just looking for some advice about my R33 Series 2 GTS-T coupe  

A p plater nailed me head on in my street, my cars insured for $10k, looks like it's going to be written off. 

The damage on my car was all in the front right hand corner, the LCA snapped in half right between the 2 bolts for the castor rod, the wheel is actually fully pushed back in the guard and chopped the front tyre when my dad limped it home, the front bar, head light, both reservoirs in the corner, dented one of the intercooler pipes, the bonnet, guard, grill, didn't look like any chassis damage, just a bit of tangle to be pulled out lol

Anyway the panel beater that had it quoted it up for all the body damage etc, but must've been moving the car and since then apparently the "steering" has collapsed. 

Im hearing the cars going to be a total loss, I was planning on reshelling it anyways 

but what I need to know is how much a fair price would be for me to pay for the wreckage? All the money is in the parts I've broken and I need to buy them again anyway for my new shell and my motor is needing a rebuild too

thanks heaps guys

No idea really, but if you can buy a good one complete for $10K and a shitty one for $5K then a written off one should be sub $2-3K.  Make an offer and negotiate.

Start at a price you can easily afford and then go up from there.

 

Yea I spoke to the panel beater 

Apparently close to $15k just in suspension and steering damage cos they have to use brand new parts

reckons they'll take $500 to $1000 for it 

but who knows

thanks guysimage.thumb.jpeg.4bf66a4ecfee8aa0c584466551057f54.jpeg

Was gonna say I'll have a 12/1997 40th Anniversary silver coupe I'll be selling after I pillage parts to fix my damaged 11/1997 40th Anniversary. I'm only using airbags,  Exhaust  , front end bits but the car won't be cut . I'm not needing any front end steering or suspension, engine or transmission . The donor car isn't a write off, just unregistered  but won't be available til my car's fixed ....poss 1-2mths. I'll post the car on the forum when it's ready to sell.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
