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

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • 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.
