Just thought I would share my pain :laugh: . I was picking up my fiancé from work when we were involved in a collision. We're both unharmed, I'm glad that I didn't have my son in the car at the time; we were on our way to pick him up. There doesn't appear to be any engine damage or major structural damage, so that’s a plus. I'm thinking maybe a new front bar, some panel beating, a new headlight lenses, and some paint. Well, I will have to speak to the insurance company tomorrow and see what my options are for repairers, hopefully I get to choose. At least I've got a place like SAU for some good resources.

I had some work done on my car by Imperial Body Finishes in springvale. Was really happy with the work done. My mate also had work done on his 32 GTR there, also very good. Another to consider. Ph 9547 8111

    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
    • Thanks for the info mate was thinking 255/35 rears and 235/40 fronts
    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
    • It will be salvageable. It really doesn't matter what is damaged. Opening up a 30+ year old motor for a rebuild immediately means a complete rebuild of the head anyway. Damaged valves just means an opportunity to put in some nice new ones. And in the modern day, why would you not throw at least a nice set of pistons at something. And if you're doing that, why not rods, and ARP fasteners, and so on.
