Mark... Bluprint got his RB25 Neo from a complete R34 GTT at Just Jap in Sydney, I think that they still have the rear cut there... Good luck with it anyway, sh*t happens to the best of us you just gotta pick your self up dust yourself off and start again (easy to say when its not you that has to spend $15,000).... Hope all goes well

holy sweet merciful mother of crap :D that almost brings tears to my eyes :)

for 22k is it almost worth wrecking it out and getting another one ??? i know that sounds mean but that is alot of repairing anyways whatever direction you choose let us know how you go gl

Yeah that is almost a good idea leech_ has there 22k plus what you could get in selling off all the parts (i think front cut is worth over 6k)....starts getting close to the territory of buying another one......all interior bits, doors, wheels etc etc.....all the bits would stack the $$ up pretty quickly towards a new one.

Such a hard decision to make, glad its not me. *touch wood*

and that was an insurance job

Could be half the problem, they dont give a toss when it comes to insurance jobs. My mum had her car repaired by a certain repairer in Queanbeyan (pm if you want a name) and we had to take it back coz many parts were missing, like the door hinge that stops the door from just flying open at will, various interior parts, the seatbelt wasnt joined etc etc etc......

I have had a recent good experience with a smash repairer whom i plan to take my car to from now on (hopefully it wont be a regular occurance/ever!). Was 1/3rd the price of another repairer i asked. I couldnt believe it. The price dropped 1/3rd in the space of 5mins all by taking a drive around the corner.

Holy Jebus! Yeah you should consider wrecking it (not saying that i would know what decision to make)...

Well its a damn shame anyway. I'm glad your alright though bro! Sounds to me like your tyre/s picked up something on the road and it was the cause of the sparks and the subsequent loss of traction. Just a theory. Or have you got more of an idea what happened now?

EDIT: Its times like this when paying my insurance company a huge amount each month feels justified.. Oh wait no, its gone. Filthy expensive bastards!

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.

      Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
