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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
