yo yo yo

just got my two quotes,

it seems that the spacesaver saved my boot from caving in further - so the thing is f**ked

first guy said 6-8k for the repair,

and the 2nd guy said around 8k - possibly needing a rear cut..

fuuuuuuuuck!

Get old mate to just buy you another car

Aslong as you dont install some hectic chromies with perfect narrowbody fitment we should be sweet.

Track car ftw :) Wish I could afford another one. Best I can afford atm is a 31 or something. We'll see in december :P

1. I don't like chromies.

2. I hate people that put body kits on there car and they can't lower it where the wheels are in the guard, hence buying a Nismo kit for it that is the same height as the stock kit :P

And 31's are awesome! (I use to have one)

8k is only 2/3 of the value of the car so you might get it repaired. If not just hope they give you the whole 12k n buy another one

jeez how annoying.. didnt think it was that bad though, isnt $8k a little overpriced?

basicaly what you need is a rear bar, a boot lid and straightening out the rear end..

now the first two items you can get for less than $1k?

yo wolf!

man wat we didnt see the other night is that the whole boot floor as crumpled..

the 8k was only an estimate - we'll find out more in the next few dayss..

It'll be cheap if you source it yourself definately but if you're letting someone else do the job its an entirely different story. First they will get all brand new geniune parts, second mark up 30% 40% (just look at my charge rate at work... 135/hr to client)? And third, their time/contacts. These would make your 2-3k job easily 5-7k. But I do agree 8 seems unreasonable.

If I were you... try to get the full 12k and save the rest up and get a GTR ! I pack my lunch/cook dinner for more than a yr to get mine =P

brandon you car is amazing - but its 4wd!

im a man of my rwd hahaha

ill straight swap you though :P

Its a good deal Brandon. Tristans car does epic skids :P

I dont think 8k is unreasonable. It would be a fair amount of work to straighten up the car properly and things will always come up which are unexpected. Its probably a 6k job but the guy has given himself a buffer.

PS: GTR + RWD Mode?...

    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos                                
    • After an excellent condition, working! oem radio for a 97 r33 And the steering wheel shroud/cover as mines a little bit scratched up Am in Melbourne
    • So my exhaust is loud and sounds awesome (good thing) but also is very loud when coming and going, dont want to piss off the neighours etc Are the varex adjustable mufflers any good? I contacted them but they dont make r33 specific exhausts Ive also see the adjustable inlets on this site but apparently they might restrict airflow too much which wouldnt be good for the engine. Would prefer something thats adjustable from in cabin so i can change it on the fly, dont really want to put in one of those permanent exhaust tip things.  Any other recommendations would be appreciated!
    • You don't need to lean as far to pour the oil in, or change the spark plugs either 😛
    • Indeed, it is much easier to get at the filter with the engine on a stand
