I feel your pain mate. I lost it once when I was concerntrating. Also lack of experience I think. Only had the car 3 weeks, wasnt used to the power or rear wheel drive. Having bald tyres didnt help either. Lost it and took out a fire hydrant. Im the unofficial cause of stage 3 water restrictions. Lucky for me it was minor damage. I feel really bad about the amount of water lost though, the bloody hydrant was going for an hour. =(

PS: car was covered by full comp and is all good now. The sig pick is the side that was hit, front right. As you can see, you cant tell the difference. Now its got nice fat new tyres on it.

hrmm are you sure its worth to pay $7k to fix it?

How much do r33 gts' sell for these days?

Might be better to sell the wreck and purchase another gts? as the car may never be the same after it has been repaired...

you could probably make 4 -5k selling all the parts, then plus the 7k that you need to spend to fix it is around 12k which would easily get you another gts that has not been in a smash, or hold out and get a gtst.

my friend has same sort of front end damage, his mechanic told him to go to the wreckers to get a "front nose cut".. should include most of what u need, except bonnet, lights, and belt from what i remember.. but its hard to find nose cuts.. should cost $1k i hear.. but if u find it, it could save you money..

also the airbags cost a shitload to replace.. 2000 + i think..

    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
