aaah dude not cool. really sorry to hear (and see) what's happened. what year was it, what condition was it in and how much did you pay for it? (if you don't mind me asking). if you've got the time and patience, stripping it and selling whats good out of it may be a better idea. i say this just because your resale value will be appaling, no matter how good the repairs are.

have you had it on the car aligner? is the chassis bent? has anyone thats looked at it said it might be a stat. write-off??

d

I am still half half on what Im going to do with it at the moment.. I will decide within the two weeks.. its hard because I love her soo much and it took me alot to get the moeny in the first place to buy her. Someone asked it was a 1998 R34gtt it was in excellent condition I gave her lots of TLC.. and she costed me at the time around 38k... not including the moeny I have invested in her like parts.. but oh well I will keep everyone here updated as to what I am doing if I do wreck it I will put the parts up for sale here as well..

thanks all for your support

mate - Shop around on the repair... Not bagging the mob that gave you the quote, but 22K!!!!

looks to me like a straight cut and shut of the rear end.

But at the same time, you want it all lined up properly, which could add to the time (labour$$$)

I think a neo would pull fine in a GTR while a 26 slowly gets put together....

Really, they are all just whale hearts.

Hey Richard, answer your PMS damnit!

Still trying to figure out if I will rebuild her or not.. money really isnt the issue with fixing it as such.. but I miss her.. not sure about the replacment kit I got for it either now.. not that has any relavence.. but hmmm will keep everyone updated and If I do give up the parts I will let everyone know in a post.. and dont worry I wont be selling the parts expensive to get money back or whateva.. the parts will just be sold to the person that offers the most for them.

Soz Anthony, cant sell - Splitfires will be loaned to NiK in the short term so he can work out some issues.

Thanks big R :rofl:

AJ... Personally, I wouldnt repair the car, its been pretty badly smashed and I doubt will ever drive or feel straight again. Wreck it, get some cash and get that supra you always wanted, or a chaser :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
