Yep !

How good is the car ( before it was smashed that is ) ?

If its a clean unit get multiple quotes on repairing it.

Post up some pics of the damage so we can get an idea of whats involved.

I'm assuming it wasn't insured or you don't want to go through insurance ?

Then try and get a basic parts list together and source the parts yourself second hand and then get a quote for repair.

That's >$5k right there. Probably a lot more than that because the inner guard is smoked and the rad support and the chassis rail probably generously bent. Whether those parts are straightened (if it's doable) or replaced, will both cost a few bucks. Then you need all those external panels and lights and radiator and other plastics. The $$ add up quick.

You won't fix it yourself, because you'll need more facilities than anyone reasonably has at home, or even in a friend's workshop, unless that friend is a crashie.

Back in the day when I had free time, I would disassemble the front end, bin any broken parts, tow the car to a panel shop and get them to sort out the front end structure. 

Then bring it back home for reassembly with second hand parts and possibly paint, or cashie job by a painter

Would be a decent saving but you would need a panel shop willing to do that kind of work, most will ask you to politely gfto

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      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.
