Reasonable. But most people I know have their pretty stock r34 gtt coupes insured for 20k.

they valued it at 20K if it was in mint condition with low K's etc

they said i can buy back the wreck for 7K coz apparently that's what wreckers quoted them for it.

Able to salvage more than $10k in parts from it? If so it's worth it if you don't need the $ in a hurry...

if you can only get back $8k or so, I wouldn't really bother, but if there's a decent amount of money to be made, in a reasonable time frame, do it...

If my car was ever written off, and I got the wreck back, I would've CLEANED UP...would've pocketed something like $35-40k...

nah not worth it i don't see how i'd get anything close to 10K for parts. had over 120Ks on engine/gearbox which was auto so don't think it'd fetch much. also don't really have the space for it. i'd pay up to 3K for the wreck if they agree otherwise i'll pass. wanna get a new car already...

we're still in negotiation atm asking 13K plus the wreck, if they say no then we'll just go for the next best offer i guess. not much we can do

Yeah not really worth it with stock engine/auto gearbox etc...

probably would've made the most money on interior trims/seats etc rest is meh

Thanks bro. Didn't like the way the BMW drove. Atleast I'll be happy in a skyline. Just needs some wherels, low and a Proper exhaust.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
