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: )

didn't know if it was a write off. was told a repo. only in early this week so may not be advertised yet? the guys there were going for a drive in it so don't know how much damage, if any. will maybe find out more details end of the week

would love to believe but i'm thinking pickles might know it's worth a tiny bit more?

lol tiny bit, a LOT more?

dont know about this, this is no rb20. check out those rear guards!

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...

    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
    • This makes sense. I have 2 so I'll just choose the least favourable child to perform the task.  If all turns to shit, I've still got a spare.  Win-win!
