Hahaha, He might just do! she seemed to have an interest in silly wogs :banana:

on another note, my friend is bummy with gms. might get him to give them a hola to get the m35 ecu

"The fully sik Stageas were live revving and revving hard, then the Skinny Stagea (250t) said to the fat Stagea (260RS), I'm gunna get my aftermarket homies on to you and then a Chik Chik backfire . . Boom. . . it was all over. . . .the poor skinny stagea had a broken nose. . "

which in plain english = not worth fixing. now if a import panel shop got the car for nix and fixed it thats another story.

how did you find this out?

I work for the Insurance company as an assessor. and have looked a car

Mind you that the replacement parts would all be NEW from nissan. or whoever made the kit that was on the car.. + all the broken parts that you can see. airbox etc etc..

thats why the cost will be out of this world.. it really doesnt look like that much of a knock. but the rail does look like it took most of the impact.

The price was using used parts 1/2 from a importer when dose a insurance companay pay for new parts on a old car? the rail is very bad, only new parts would be air bags and suspension.

do you mean THIS car??

if youve looked at it, then youd know it doesnt need airbags replaced as they werent deployed.

depends on the insurance company if they use new or 2nd hand parts. i think AAMI dont use new parts if the car is more than a year old. dont quote me on that.

Sorry i look at so many cars every day, and this went threw over 2 months ago, must of been the other one we had that the bags had gone off on, but yes i have seen this car and needs a new rail and with a big repair on the fire wall.

As long as the car is under factory warranty they should use new parts, on cars out of warrany aftermarket or used parts can be used can be used only safty item have to be new, eg air bags.

brian walker? who do you work for?

I work for Just Car Insurance as an assessor in Sydney.

i almost thought you didnt speak english with your first post :D

this one clears things up a little!!

ahh yes i didnt think of factory warranty. however, i know ALL insurance companies dont do that. my friends car was stolen and beaten up. they used 2nd hand parts to repair and now she is having problems with a warranty claim because of 2nd hand parts.........

Ah no worries, the only brian my brother knew was brian walker.. i guess not you..

as an example for everyone

cars insured for 20g, Brian quotes 15k to fix, Auction assessor say they will get 5k @ auction the car will get written off and sold..

the values will obviously be a little different Brian may be able to explain more..

Spot on there. and the problem is with some people paying silly money for damaged imports like skylines and Evo's we can total loss the car easy. I can check up but im sure someone paid around $7000 for this black Stages threw pickles.

Yeah i think it went somewhere around 7k..

i'm also taking a stab and saying you ring around a few of the bigger jap wreckers for parts to fix? and will average the prices if you can locate... i'd say a m35 stagea would be a tricky one to locate panels etc for..

There was a quote done on the car by Prestige Motorsport in Sydney who priced up a front cut less motor out of Japan with all labour req and still come in well over $15000, for people who dont know Prestige Motorsport is a smash repair - importer in Lansvale Sydney he will import any parts needed, brings parts over for Just Cars all the time. and fixs alot of the imports.

I think he still has a S2 Stagea front cut sitting around, and im sure he will bring in M35 parts if there are people after stuff.

Without seeing the car in person it does not look that bad. $3500 I thought would be on the money for a full front cut less mechanical. I have done over 6-7 similar cars in the past and never spent that much on a front cut. They were all jap cars. The high repair bill be for alot of labour dropping motor and gearbox, stripping engine bay, removing full dash to repair fire wall, painting inside were welding new rail to fire wall etc. If you were a back yarder and did all this donkey work yourself, like I use to, I would guess/estimate work needed to be done by a panel builder and painter to be $3000-4000 plus parts.

Speaking of parts, what ever happened to the 2 2004 stagea's that could not be complied. Surly someone is stripping them, 2 perfect fronts on them

The backyard repairer/own your own workshop are the guys who can do it on the cheap :) there are surely some good buys at auction if you are one of these guys.

i would buy some of the evo's and fix them! they seem cheap tho can be pretty damaged with a small knock.

speaking of smashed repair jobs..

looks like my brother did end up getting the r34 he was calling me about..

What do you know about this car?

I saw it just over a week ago at a panel beater near my work. They had the front stripped to quote. They do all the high end $300K plus cars

I have a spare $160K at the moment, stuff the house reno's. It goes to auction on the 24th. I think I might have a look. . .

I just checked, it is listed in the storm/flood affected vehicles

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
