Just take it to any big panel beater shops, they can tell you if anything wrong, if u lived in VIC i could of told u a place but you don't so i really don't know, if u live near liver pool i could tell you my uncles mechanic shop he might tell ya what wrong, and he might tell where to go for repairs just PM if u want his location

i agree with trust33, check the hub. Exceller Steering would be my choice to check this kind of problem. This place is also one of SK recommended installers for his suspension groupbuys. They are located in Bankstown.

Like tdsepco said "don't stress - get some more advice. I race these things and have crashed one big time in the front. Even then the chassis was only slightly bent and I had it straightened. Every thing else in the front end bolts on and off - top/bottom arm, castor rod tie rod etc. if any of these bent you will chasing problems forever. Bit are easy to find and relatively cheap (on SAU) and not too bad from wreckers. Sometime all bits around from someone's half cut project.

Same goes for back - but heaps more moving suspension components. V V unlikely chassis bent - just some of the bits.

Suggest go to best frontend/wheel alighner you can find....pay for basic wheel align and hopefully they will tell you exactly what is wrong and what take to fix it.

Good advice may seem expensive first up, but WILL save you $$$$$$$$.

apologies for the resurrection as well but i am looking to purchase a gtr that has had a front end collision with a high kerb....just under the intercooler....the impact has sheared off the 2 castor rods and pushed one wheel far enough back in the wheel arch to bend the trailing edge or the guard by about 2"

now the $64 000 question......do you reckon this would have bent the chassis or is it likely to be repaired with bolt ins??

now i know you guys don't have a crystal ball,but i am looking for suggestions re the chances of chassis damage...likely,maybe,definately,unlikely,etc

am i likely to be able to verify anything visually if i jack it up and take a decent butchers or am i wasting my time looking??

cheers guys

      Stagea obd II low voltage

      By thomasLait 路 Posted

      Hey guys I have a 2001 Nissan stagea vq25det, I don't have any engine lights and not really any issues running but I was curious to see if I could use my obd II scanner to find anything that was hidden and I plugged my scanner in and it just said "Low voltage cannot scan" does anyone know how to fix this or what this could be?

      So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL

      yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice).
