Hey all,

I had a little bingle in the car on saturday night. Which ended in the roof being slightly bent.

Recieved the call today that she was a right off :whistling:

Insurance have taken the car and is being sold at auction.

Possibly looking for another NA 33 or similar.

Recieving around 10g back after excess. So im open to suggestions.

One of the longest days at work :D

yeh sorry man.

I didn't judge it proply. threw a shicane. some gravel on the road and she just went. only saw the gravel at the last minute.

Car can be bought at auction for like 2g if some one wants a reasonable 33 with only rear panel damage and one broken small window.

omg~ doesn't sound very total to me... its sad how car values can go down dramatically cuz of some expensive minor repairs. 2G omfg! i'd buy it and sell the parts myself man~ the engine itself would already give me profit, then theres the turbo, trans, etc etc.

Sucks how a minor bend in the roof, despite the car can look fine=write off. Anyway f**k the car, your not dead, get a turbo now. Kill yourself quicker next time :)

That is the plan. maybe not the whole killing myself side of things. im not emo haha.

Only thing is insurance is threw the roof.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
