Waste of time repairing that i am sorry to say...

I would be shocked if that was not a statutory write off.

Best bet is to part it out and buy a new one. Also that is a rear hit so why is the other person not paying etc or was it a single vehicle accident?

Don't repair it it will never sell if your honest when you do and if there is chassis damage then it will crab and look s*#t..

s*** true?

yeah it was single car accident

i think gov was fixing the road.

i didnt c the sign and went too fast on it.

car went in the air when it dropped i lost control.

no insurance coz wasnt sure if i was going some where for while or not.

where is best place to look for shell?

Cut and polish mate, she'll be right.....

Seriously, to repair you'll be looking at least

Rear window

Rear bar

RHR quarter panel

Beaver panel

Boot lid

At least one tail light....I'm guessing

Plus a lot of labour and painting costs.........minimum.

If it's a 34 gtt you'll likely find the best deal will be to buy another car and part that one out, you'll be surprised how much of those parts will sell, and it'll all add up.

I've said before I had a friend in NZ who used to buy cars and part them out, even if they were in perfect registerable condition, cos parts alone fetch a hell of a lot more than the car as a whole.

I really hope you owned that car before you joined this forum.....if you wrote one off in under 11 days I would suggest you stick with the civic....or maybe a Volvo

Check if the roof has any ripples, crumpled etc (roof is structural). Then check and measure the rear cradle mount points to the front mount points on front crossmember.

If the roof is good, and the measurements aren't out by more than a couple of mm ( I doubt it) then it would be repairable.

Also the boot floor would need to be bashed out too.

Even then like the guys said, all the parts, paint and labour will be $$$$.

Looks like it may be worth repairing?

Good luck with your decision.

ofcoz i had itt for while.

what u think? lol

if i crashed in 2weeks, i will be in mental hosp. haha

i was looking for parts and saw this site

so thought i join.

i saw boot lid for 100 and RH rear light for 60.

rear bumper for 150.

so i need RH quarter panel and some metal bit/

im looking for shell ATM as well.

if i can get good shell i might jus buy the shell.

ot buy 2dr r34 GT and swap the parts and sell what i have left.

i think it might be best way

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.     
    • I have a 2 lt in Sydney. It was fitted on a R33 GTR, not used for several years . If you are interested email me on: [email protected] I'm not on this forum much .
