That's a way bigger hit than I imagined Luke! I reckon you should be able to come off better than $3.5k with the wreck - series II interior, P1 rims, sunroof, etc. But like Nightcrawler said, it's just a matter of waiting out the time before the parts are sold. I still have the stock exhaust from it lying in my garage!

Just hope you can sort out the insurance easily. I'll drop you a PM back soon...

Yep, hard to believe I was only going around 30k/h eh? Thing is I have no idea how fast she was going (I'd guess 60ish k/h) and she was also driving a Kingswood so it was like hitting a brick wall; barely a dent in her car

Where did you 2 hit? Was it in her front left? If can prove that your light was green and you hit her on her front left and she was going fast thru the intersection it means that she was either running a red or flying thru an obvious orange, either way it sucks to see your car like that.

If buying back id like to put in a reservation for the plastic boot latch cover, mines cracked and car toys cut it while installing my sub box.

Cheers

I'm glad that you're okay Luke. A lady running a red light at the start of the year wrote my car off and put me in hospital. I still have trouble with my neck/back/hips and knee. I guess the question is whether you have the skills, tools, time and patience to pull the car apart and store the parts until they sell. Some potential buyers always stuff you around which can be quite frustrating but you could end up making a few extra $. Good luck.

very glad you are still with us matey

UMmmm, me, Id say ask the company if you can buy back the brand new turbo, and leave it at that.

Move on and forget the ol' girl

Mind you thats me, no kneecaps = no way to strip the car :rofl:

No my hours of work fitiing that intercooler for you!!!!!

All seriousness i am glad you are ok and that you came out fine with no injuries.

Let me know if you need a hand with anything. :ph34r:

im soooooo sorry my heart goes out to you i cant belive that has happened to you anyway buy your car back mate cause your seats are worth a bit couple hundred and your bootcarpet and everything that isnt damaged is worth a fair bit more than 3500 if you wnt to sell your sunvisers (spelling) i will buy them if they are the same colour as mine

Damn Luke, I saw the pic and that was enough to kick me in the nuts and make me cry.

I know I would be interested in some bits and pieces from your car, so let me know what your going to do buddy.

If anything I am really after that black plastic thing that covers the boot latch, but certainly other stuff could be possible (interior etc)

If buying back id like to put in a reservation for the plastic boot latch cover, mines cracked and car toys cut it while installing my sub box.

I bought one of these for my series 1 from Nissan, cost something like $10 (go figure when they want $200 for some plastic clips)

Anyone able to tell me in total what I'd be expecting back realistically if I did buy it back aqnd strip it?

I was in a similar situation 5 months ago, and was told that any items not specifically mentioned on my insurance policy (e.g. the turbo and stereo) could be swapped for stock parts prior to the insurance company taking the car.

For $3500 it sounds like it would be worth you wrecking it yourself. If you need a hand or some tools let me know as I’m happy to help out where I can (for the odd beer whilst working LOL)

Glad to here you wernt hurt.

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
