No. No. No.

You cannot simply weld a car together from 2-halves. Especially not a high performance car.

Mines - this is not like a Lego set. It won't magically 'click' back together again.

The car is a wreck. There is nothing that can be done.

Sell the good bits (an RB26 is worth about $5k), scrap the rest.

Please don't try and repair your car....

In all seriousness, that's really quite dangerous... You can't weld two halves of a chassis together and hope it holds.

If you feel bad now, imagine how you'd feel if you find out the person you sold your car to died because the GTR snapped in half going 110km/h along the freeway? :(

If your going to go down tat path, look into re-engineered bodies (cant recall if thats what its called)

Basically if you have had an accident then you are allowed to put your running gear into another shell, plenty of club racer ppl do it when they damage say their Golf/Escort shell in a hill climb etc etc.

Start ringing importers and see if they have any Race/Rally R33s or GTRs that have been imported for wrecking.

As others will no doubt tell you, a cut and shut job isnt the way to go unless you tell the cars new owner about the cars history. How would you feel if you bought a car only to find out its past when the thing had a handling, tyre wear imbalance etc etc.

Perhaps someone out there wants to build a 9second GTR

there is plenty of half cut r33's out there on the streets that people dont know of. can you take your personal comments somewhere else please.

Plenty of half cuts people don't know of - yeh, and this makes it right? What happens if someone has an accident - their car will fall to pieces and kill them and their passengers because it's been dogily re-welded together. It's illegal as far as I know to "cut and shut" a car like you're thinking. Don't even bother trying to repair it. Sell what's left of your car in parts or as a wreck.

Well... maybe the photos look over dramatic. A good cut and polish, she'll be like new...

Really.

Mines - at the end of the day, what you do to your car is your business... but take any discussion of 'repairing to sell' that vehicle off this forum.

It is: 1: Illegal, 2: Dangerous, 3: Expensive.

No-one here will condone that type of activity. You can easily buy a front-cut, but that is to use for part (engine, loom etc), not to weld onto the back of another car.

Please - for the sake of humanity - sell the parts.

Stop any thoughts you have about repairing it. You'll actually be better off (financially) by selling the parts.

If you do come to your senses and 'wreck' the car for bits - I'm serious about your boot-trim bits... but need to see them first.

This is all I will say on this topic.

Hmmm this is an interesting post.....i am sure that all you guys are aware that cars are not made up of billet material!!;)Anyway i get your points on unsafe repair work however....a job like this done PROPERLY is completely safe and legal...i mean take into consideration the new V.I.V scheme that has been put into place...I beleive this scheme is enforced NOT for the safety of the general public but due to the loss,s on the insurance companys behalf(theft ect)They preach its for safety but i beleive not...having said that there is or at least was many dodgy repairs going on which this law may cut out but i have seen dodgy jobs slip through V.I.V due to the owner/repairer having reciepts for parts while the inspector was too busy looking at them and not picking up the shoddy repair......I can also sense a desire from people for not wanting this mines guy back on the road in this type of car...to which i can also understand

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!

      Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).

      Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap

      Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
