Edited by BIT SUS
how much were you looking at for the whole wreck out of interest?

and how much you want for the spoiler?

I find out later in the week how much the wreck is, and will post up.

I won't be listing individual part prices up until such time as I have made a decision on buying the wreck or not.

Until then, feel free to post up offers on the main things like engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension, etc.

I FKN hate lancer drivers!

the tears are still running :P

I hate commo drivers :)

Interested in brakes and possibly front and rear seats.

Let us know what the outcome is.

Pm sent about gearbox, flywheel, clutch, pedal box, etc ... most bits for a manual conversion. :thumbsup:

Intersested in the whole car

Does it still roll or partly drive to get it on and off a truck to Brisbane?

The car rolls and steers, but engine cannot be started as there is no radiator, intercooler or belts on the engine. The crash shop dismantled the front end to assess the damage.

For all those people who have PM'd me about the price of the wreck, I will not reply, as I will be posting the price of the complete wreck up here, and it will then be first in best dressed from that point on.

I cannot keep track of 15+ PMs (so far) about the wreck, and if i purchase the wreck, I want it gone ASAP, as I want to replace the vehicle as soon as possible.

Sorry if this upsets some people, but as you can understand, Im trying to recover my uninsured losses as best as I can.

hey there mate,

just abit of advice from my experiance with my r33 gtr

its not worth buying the wreck back as in the end you dont end up making $$ as the insurance company always wants top $$ for the wreck plus you will get thousands of time wasters saying they want the car but as we all know there are too many dreamers who dont want to pay what its worth

for some one to buy this and put it back on the road will take alot of time and money

save the headache and give it to the insurance company, i wished i done so

yeh, ive figured as much, but most people would want this car for parts for say a manual conversion, not for a repair.

exactly my point,

you would sell the manual bits and maybe the motor (which will be hard as people want warranty) so you will end up with parts everywhere as people will get you to pull it appart but never collect the parts

things to take into consideration are

you need room and time to store and dismantle the car,

you will need to cover all your cost and then make a profit to make it worth while for you, this takes alot of time trust me

you will have heappps of tyre kickers rocking up to your house for parts but want it for next to nothing

alright.

enough BS:

I have been offered the car back at what i think is an acceptable price.

Throw me some offers via PM for the whole wreck, and i'll see i'd make a small profit by buying it back.

Highest offer wins obviously, as im already at a loss of 6k or more (see stupid Lancer drivers comment earlier)

Nigel.

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
