looks like the motor stopped the car....doesnt start does it?? does it even crank....dont recommend trying it...but i assume you already tried...really need open bonnet pics to see how bad the damage is....i guess no insurance? would the inexperienced driver be your partner?

would be repairable...probably about 7k worth of damage to the body....dunno bout the motor until you can that bonnet up, the rails could be kinked/bent aswell...sucks either way....everyone alright??

Thanks for all the replies. Answers to all the questions...

Will post more pics shortly.

Had an offer of $3k, seems like a fair price to me.

Can't be bothered parting out.

Doesn't start or crank, yes I tried.

Missus was driving, bruised nicely but that's it. We bought it for her on Tuesday night. Went from an NA 4x4 sedan to this and just wasn't ready.

Uninsured due to owning it less than 24 hours before accident. Big F for Fail.

No real mods.

mattsr33 did the same thing begining of last year i think. cost him (or his dad) about half of what u think. get a new radiator support, bonnet, front bar and a couple of other bits and get it going again. better than loosing im guessing 8 to 9 grand on a bingle. parts can be found pretty cheap around here if you look

You posted this on Antilag as well yeah?

If it didn't hit the firewall, get a panel beater to have a look at it in person for you, if it's not a structural write off, then find an emtpy (or remnants) off an R33 halfcut and get a welder to do some cash work for you.

Chase down front end parts that were damaged, put it all back together, get it going.

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
