can any please help me out here

i am in need of a left headlight, parker and blinker from in the front bar and possibly a new front bar.

i have shown interest in the lights that familka gtr has but i need to get prices from more than 1 source for the parts and i have been given the ok to see if anyone on here can help me. if you could please pm me so we don't get into any conflicts on pricing people may want to sell their parts for that would be great.

attached is a pic of the damage to the car.

if you want to know the dumb driver of the ford thought he had the right of way cause he had a green light but was turning right across my lane of traffic (he must have forgot about the give way rule :D dumb shit) and it could have been worse cause he may not have had insurance but just car are going to cover the majority of the cost if he wasn't insured which i think is awesome.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys and girls

GTR Conversion time!

It sucks dude. i'm so paranoid about people hitting me like that because i know how much of a pain in the butt it is to get parts. have your tried just jap? they have stageas sometimes in their yard.

if there was a bit more damage i would be able to get it done but the missus wont allow the gtr conversion when there was so little damage. damn that. should have drove it into a brick wall or something to make it worth it. yeah i have sent just jap an email to see what they can get for me.

but i must say it held up quite well for the impact cause it spun the other guy about 90 degs when i tagged his rear panel. but hey i would say served him right but cause he had a pile of crap XF falcon ute (which is patched all over in matt black) it barley made a mark on him.

    • Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.
    • Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.
    • Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
