Looks like u will have to try and get a few quotes to repair, goto jap wreckers and see if u can get a new bonnet, head lights (i think its a fair bit for just these), front bar etc. But get the quote's first as they will tell u what needs replacing and it will make it a lot easier for when u go shopping.

If not i want the windscreen!

My estimate

1-strip front $400-800 depends if motor needs to come out

2- repair dampage to radiator support $500-1000 depends if rails are damaged

3-paint $1000-1400

4- refit $500-1000 depends if you need to refit motor

Parts $1800-2500 for a fully dressed front cut.

This way you get everthing to repair it, then sell whats left from the front cut.

Aftermarket parts like FMIC will be extra.

total $4200-6700.

if you can do the stripping and the refitting (the fun bits) you could get away from for about $900-1800 less.

I have repair 5 or 6 cars before like this with more damage, and has never cost me more than $4000 doing some of the work myself.

Form what the photo's look like from here (in Brisbane) it should not be a write-off

Have seen R33 with same damage, except the wheels where not moved, alignment all that were fine. Only thing that was hit on engine was water pump/fan clutch.

Repair cost over $13K through insurance. If you paid out of your own pocket, $10K.

You only paid $16K, so cut your losses, sell off parts of the car, and buy another. It will be cheaper and better than getting it fixed.

Dude, if the wheels have shifted, it needs some work :)

I've seen a 32 with this type of damage, and the bill was around the 5-6 grand mark doing the stripping and stuff himself. That said, it NEVER looked or felt right again. From what he told me, the wheels being pushed was the biggest issue, it bent brackets and even a smal part of the chassis. Anyone else suspect chassis issues here.

If you've bent that, sell out.

I reckon a good front cut will cover it.. If you can line the wheels up ever again :P

And yeah, tons of lines have had big damage, but unless they are fixed VERY well, you can always tell in the driving....

i dont think you got a good deal at all, i got my 1994 R33 auto for $14k

plus mine had full 400r kit, gtr wing, avc-r, 17" rims, leather interior and a few other stuff like mods and stuff

u got ripped off....shouldve researched the market more, especially ur car only being auto

good luck with ur situation, things will work out

Shit man thats a bit of damage. About 1 month ago i had a red vl commodore full walky kit really wannabe bastard trying to get me to race him and ended up smashing into the back of my R32, its all covered with insurance but i got quoted $3000 to replace rear bar , tail lights, re align boot, resray etc, and in my pictures you'll see, but mate i think thats gonna cost shit loads. See a smash repair to get your estimate price, there pretty good with that. :flamed:

I might have missed something...

If the car didn't have rego, why was it being driven ???

No rego = No Insurance = your at fault and liable for all costs to all parties involved...

I'm guessing if the police were involved you also got stung with a few fines?

You might be better off cutting your losses and seeling it off as parts....

Its not a 10k fix at all:

- $1800 for a full R33 S1 Nosecut (Radiator support, radiator, condensor, fans, bar, reo, ind/foglights, headlight, bonnet latch and upright)

- $350 for R33 S1 Bonnet

- $295 for R33 Guard

- $500 to $1000 for suspension items

- $2500 for panel beating and painting

As stated by some others, you could in theory get change from $7000 if you do it all right

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
