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

I already told him about the remaining rear half of the car :)

dunno if it's still there or not though..... one way to find out.

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!

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
