depends what the car is worth. If cost of repair is more than the value then it's a Write-off.

Thanks heaps Fab!! I'll let you know what I do.

I'm also considering getting Wide Vented guards! These ones are $395 plus delivery.

He does need new fenders and bonnet, but no where near the price of the car. Seriously, it aint that bad. Joyna laughed at it cause of how much people over killed the damage.

He found, door, piller, and rear for 500$ delivered all second hand not painted. He's been looking heaps for cheap parts ( Gaurds an ect ) so he can get it back on the road.

hey jimmy ive got those fiberglass vented and flared front guards on my car if u want i can ask the previous owner where he got them from and give u a price. its a shame dad wont let me sel the original metal ones 2 ya ( something about he wants me 2 keep them as spares) cos if i could i would. but anyway im bored i moved into my new place last night i got a little money left to fill up the car and give it a wash so if anyones comin out tonight let me know cos i feel like driving.

cheers leigh,

are yours the DMAX ones? just curious about fitment as I've heard/read that often they don't fit properly (but don't know about these DMAX ones). Were yours on when you got the car and original ones came also or did you get them fitted? don't go to too much trouble i can get em for about $550 incl delivery, but if he can get em cheaper, wikid!!!. Then it's up to fab and us guys to get it looking right!

To add to the list of shit!! got another bloody tech screw in a tyre, so now I'm running with the 2 17" rims that don't fit brians car, on me rears!!

goes great with 18's on the front!!!!!

Guest Rexlr8

Wow fab, how many days did you go without drinking? 3-4? hahah. Them kidneys of yours are either built of stone or about to die :devil: lol.

Nah, i didnt read that. But last weeks paper. A full letter about the blackfellas! These 2 tourist ( Who are black ) full said that they are bludgers and ect ect! It was like " HOLY SHIT " Someone actually complained.

Saying that all they are are wanderers using our tax for grog and they get everything handed to them.

You gotta admit there's some wankers driving around in town that give all of our cars a really bad image. That's what the drags and events like the powercruise are for.

Anyway just saw the R35 GTR for real. All I can say is - WOW ! Looks more expensive than a F430 side by side - NO JOKE ! Only 10 dealers in Oz will be allowed to sell car ( 1 in SA) and has had price confirmed at $150,000 with no deposits allowed.

You know you want one Oscar !

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
