how much did it cost you to fix it all up ?

Lost count....heres a quick run down from the top of my head

$2000 front

$1300 new bonnet

$1000 new front chassis rails

$450 new K frame

$110 new condensor fan shroud

$450 new left fender

$1000 paint materials

$1000 various new parts from nissan(windscreen moulds,full badge set,bonnet hinges,metal fender mounts,assorted bolts/fasteners and heaps of other crap

$2000 used parts...airflow meters,airbox assembly,radiator,condensor,aircon compressor+aircon pipes,airbags+module,dash pad,seatbelts,lower control arms plus heaps of small stuff

stuff that i have saved/repaired from the car are Driveshafts,right hand fender and left hand door was repaired,i broke the centre housing of front turbo but i had a spare one and had to buy a replacement compressor wheel $200....some of the engine pulleys were damaged so i made some up....the engine had shifted about 30 degrees to the right therefore smashing a hole in the GReddy inlet manifold(it hit the brake booster)Just welded it up and linished it back.

Other stuff i have added on are not really smash related such as engine parts etc with the exception of a Trust intercooler which was needed but i spose i didnt really need an aftermarket jobby......Oh and beleive it or not i managed to save the original front bumper cover!A friend had a good left hand side and i had a good right,so i cut it in half and welded it togetherI guess i have spent roughly 10k??I have been rather anal in assembling replacing stuff thats only scratched or dirty bolts ect

best 10k that ever got spent on a car I reckon... hey troy, quick question, are you covered by insurance on the repairs seeing as it was the merc's (i think it was a merc, not sure) fault right?

Man no offense but i dont think you smashed into a merc. you prob smashed into a tree or something but anyway its funny how you said he pays his i pay mine. no insurence company works like that. from the top of my head and many others. who evers fault it is REPAIRS anything damaged to both people.

for example if i get my corolla and runinto a lambo. he pays for his repairs and i walk away with a damaged up corolla ? hmm wierd man no offense!

Looks like Magnum PI here has found me out.....i staged the whole thing......we may even get an oscar for our perfomance,Thanks for trying to cover for me james and monkey....sorry to deceive you all :)

i didnt fix it,i wished really hard for santa to take it away and put it on his caroliner and give it a bit of a tug for me,but he was too busy.However the aliens abducted it and it came back like new

Duck dodgers also came back from the 24th and a half century and installed a few elctronic gadgets :)

got the software, gettin a powerFC (got access to one for testing as well) need to make an interface for PowerFC to computer for software to us. Do you know much about Excel workshops in japan and the equipment they use? Or know anyone that can get me info on how to make an interface?

gohan i did get your pms,sorry i been a bit busy lately....however what your asking is a only a one off job for me and i would have to charge you a large sum....i understand more people may want the products but i am really not that interested in trying to get money out of people as most people want stuff done for a bowel of rice these days!Not saying you do,just not interested in making moulds and modifying them for such a job and then trying to work them

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
