Hey guys,

I'm looking at buying a flood damaged statutory write-off to use as a donor car for parts to repair my repairable write-off.

I would like to use the airbags from the statutory write-off but I can't seem to find any concrete information regarding the legality to do so.

The flood damage is freshwater that only made it to floor pan level and the airbags themselves remained dry and will function as normal. Once the car is fixed it will be inspected in Queensland.

Wondering if someone's had the same experience or knows the legality of this?

Thanks

I have no idea on the legaltity of parts that come from a stat write off, other than to point out there is no way you, any buyer, any engineer or inspector would know a part came from a stat write off.

Man, is this some kind of SEO spam thing again? If not, I apologise and shall excuse myself.

- First post - check

- Zero relation to Skylines - check

- Odd formatting because of copy pasted content - check

- A bunch of other forums with pretty much identical posts by first posters - check

:(

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
