sorry to hear maximus

i shed a tear everytime i see a skyline hurt

hope it all pulls through ok

i have same kind of setup as you, my support bar is removed.

i think all aftermarket front bars have the support bar removed or else the frontbar wont fit

i dun think you can take legal action against the engineer

im pretty sure they have a loop hole that make them not liable for it

or else everywun would be suing engineers for anything

If you are still getting quotes - they will come to YOU!

I crashed a previous car about 2.5 years ago and had 3 different repairers come out to inspect my car at my house and quoted me by phone later [after getting parts costing]. Simple - no towing needed!

If you are happy with current one then dont worry :D

I can get absolutely all the parts I need for $2000, including

LHF Guard

2 Headlights

Bonnet

Bumper+Grill+Reinforcement

Radiator

A/C Condensor + Piping

Radiator Support Panel

Radiator Fan

Should I take it?

BTW, I spoke to a compliance engineer, he said he'd never had to sign off on a front bar because theres no specific ADR covering front bars and the impact of modifications on the safety of the vehicle is debatable, so there goes that idea.

Oh yeah, I can get the whole car fixed for under $4500, it will be better than it was when i got it.

Well work has begun on the car, things don't seem that bad, i could have it on the road perfect in 3 days as soon as i get the parts i need.

But yeah, it's been an expensive process and I'm on the verge of giving up and selling out as soon as it's fixed... ;(

How does that fit in with insurance then?? How do they decide which they cover or which they don't due to front bar?

Good work anyway max.. Hope it comes up as good as new..if not better??

u spoken to Nathan (dj_lethal) i assume?? he has plenty of stuff stuff coming off with his current upgrade

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
