History Backtracking

[S1mpl3_V1C]

Hi, used this site plenty but finally signed up.

I'd like to find out more about what's been done to my recently purchased Black V35... as far as any history goes it stops at Grafton by a girl who knew nothing about the car.

 

I can tell it's had some work but also looks like a small accident at one point? Besides mods I CAN see, I'm curious to know more if I can find the old owner/s.

To help anyone recognise the car, its got a kinetix plenum, nismo sways, english nav screen, asuka video box?, 'repainted driver front fender', silver mirrors..., jvc headunit, viper security system, carbon intake tube, aftermarket mph guage..., some extra ground wires, apexi throttle controller, unconnected oil cooler, aftermarket headlights, various support parts for the bumpers removed, and some interior carbon wrap...

Attached is the only photo I've taken so far... 😅

Wow, that's my old car!

 

I crashed it in Aug 2018 and it was a write-off (I assume stat write-off since it has been repaired and re-registered). I hit the front right hand corner and it damaged the bar, guard, light support (I think it snapped one of the headlight mounts), totalled the oil cooler, and cracked the front carbon fibre support (which was the main reason for the writeoff - insurance said the composite carbon front nose is around $15k brand new out of Japan).

 

Does it still have the black SAFCII mounted where the ashtray used to be?

It's like asking the history of your girlfriend or wife, sometimes not knowing is better

I guess you mean, not a stat write-off?

Probably not too hard to repair those items if they had a donor car.  The question is, has it been repaired properly?  or just enough to get a RWC?

Car looks shiny. Fix up the weird bits and drive it.

Can tell you it's (rad support) still cracked and crap 😂 I've already straightened the rear bar out because it was missing clips and sagging. Headlights are in the middle of a swap but I need a ballast as one was left without a cap and has given out.
