Skyline R33 Damaged

[R33 GTST]

Hi Peoples,

Unfortunately just recently i hit a pole(stupid mistake in the rain)and destroyed the front end of my R33 1997 GTST, Engine fine, Front cut would fix but looking at pro's con's to sell or keep. includes

Gizzmo EBC 50lb rating

Turbosmart BOV

RB25 turbo 69990km service history exc cond.

Trans and LSD exc cond.

Japanese exhaust CAT back

Volk Rims 1 damaged

Panasonic stereo(fold out front speaker)

Viper Alarm

Rear M-Spec Bodykit

Interior exc cond.

Nismo Adjus. susp.

Just curious what could be made from selling as is or better to break down or to fix? if i decide to sell i would rather do in one hit. Attachments show damage

Any help appreciated

Cheers

bit of a shitter to make your first post on SAU saying hello ive crashed my car

sorry for your misfortune maybe a little more care in the rain

[R33 GTST]

Yeah, lesson learnt very quickly. had the car for sometime, driven plenty of times in rain but never pushed it till now, like mentioned Stupid error in the rain, but could have been worst glad no other people involved!

[Madaz]

yeah its easy done,

no insurance or you don't want to claim on something that wasn't really a true accident

[R33 GTST]

And it gets better..........no insurance as always in sight or secure and that thought of "I'll never crash myself or into someone else" but.....................

Ouch, damn buddy, that would have hurt to see your baby end up like that. Atleast you came out ok

[R33 GTST]

Came out without a scratch, no bruises. havent gone back to garage since i put her away though!

[rush33]

That really sucks dude, sorry to hear! Not really sure to ur question, theres a fair bit of damage, either way would probably have its pros and cons hey

[gtrkiet]

r34 front cut it, if nothing is wrong with ur engine...keep it i recon

[kalel]

That's gotta suck. Oh well I guess next time you will probably think twice before pushing in the rain.....

It all depends what you really want. It will cost a bit to fix if your not insured. depends if you really like that car and want to hang on to it or if it is time to move onto something else. ultimately the decision is yours.

[Madaz]

yeah i wouldn't go into the garage without a box of tissues

[PT]

you'd make more by stripping it down for parts than selling as whole, but this can be time consuming to do, if you repair it will obviously need a cut/shut on atleast the right rail/skirt and rad support, though the left also looks damaged, if the chassis behind the firewall is also damaged I wouldn't even bother with fixing

on another note if you sell parts I'd be interested in front/rear brakes

Hi People

Just an update!

I am looking today to get prices of either to wreck or repair, heading towards a wreck, noticed a few people interested in certain things, this process may be time consuming but ill do my best. everything i decide to sell will be in condidtion it was before the crash, i wont sell fudged parts. ill be back on SAU tonight hopefully with more concrete info.

Thankyou for your thoughts so far, greatly appreciated so far

My Baby!!

[Madaz]

yeah as stated will make and be easier to wreck, and will be very time consuming but well worth the effort

even stripping a car you will learn alot about skylines and how there put together

[Richo]

I could be interested in the engine/gearbox package..

[gtrkiet]

how much u pay for ur car?

[heslo]

Shotgun your horn (if it still works that is)

[R33 GTST]

hello again people

well today a wreckers gave me a rough quote without looking at the car roughly $4000 the lot, i am waiting on another quote but heading towards being happy with taking anything around the $4000 to $5000 mark hopefully. paid all up around the $26000 in total so its kinda hurting alot. but if anyone came up with those figures well? for those interested in parts the final decision will be made tomorrow as the other wreckers may not be able to come out till tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience
