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.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
