depends on the extent of the damage

it says "economical writeoff' so there could be all sorts of shit wrong with it not just panel damage

In the world of car repairs, especially imports, that can also mean sweet FA. When the assesor looked at my stagea, after he had gotten off the phone (trying to work out what it was) he pretty much said "so, its an import eh?" Walked around it a couple of times, stuck his head under the front and said "nah, its a financial write off" and the funny thing was, he didn't even open the bonnet (front end hit, and there was bugger all damage to the inner guards and the chassis wasn't touched)

Consequently, it is being repaired as we speak. (not by me though :action-smiley-069: )

I can confirm that in Perth they are holding a repo'd 33 GTR. Silver in colour, from the small pics iv seen, looks to have stock wheels, bodykit and interior.

It will not be advertised for around a month I have been told (person it was taken from has an option to buy it back).

Too early to say what price they are putting on it...

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
