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

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • 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 .
