bonnet is bent, albeit only slighly.

the radiator support is a banana, but managed to not bust the radiator.

if the car was insured it would most certainly be a write off, but as it isnt i have to decide whether it is actually worth the work to fix it....im leaning toward just letting it go and start on the other coupe i have, as it is in better condition than the black one(even before the accicent)

the car isnt really that bad at all, im just not sure i could be bothered.... so if anyone IS interested in it, feel free to contact me.

new guards, bonnet(might be repairable) grill, bumper and headlight surounds would fix it...the radiator support could be pulled back out, it really isnt all that bad...yay for old cars i guess...had it been new it would have been destroyed

So the other drivers car had no brakes lights right, and didnt indicate... so that wouldnt be your fault right? :P

Not good man. But seriously, I reckon you could fix that in about 2hours. AND! Give the car a whole new look in the process, and just bolt on a sigma front end... Sigline! You will be full sick like thorpy, the drifters will love you, cause its old school too yo!

incorrect.... one car in the line up had no tail lights which contributed to the accident, but the 4wd i hit had everything workin fine....problem was he was already braking to stop at the lights, so when he stomped on the brakes harder, nothing changed from where i was sitting other than he got REALLY CLOSE, REALLY FAST, and the poor old r30 brakes are no match for a new cruiser with monster brakes and ABS.

Sorry to see it gone Jason, but not all R30 brakes are small.

This might not be the right time or place but I have 2 x DR30 standard radiators & 3 x thermo fan assemblies to suit, if they are any good to you or anyone else for that matter.

Great price ....... freight costs only.

Cheers.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
