So as you can see I've had an accident in my R34 GTR, my pride and joy :P. So all I'm interested in now is getting it back on the road as soon as possible.

The car has gone over a gutter head on at high speed, (don't ask), and pretty much snapped all axels, destroyed all suspension and literally have the front wheels hanging on by a thread. All 4 mags are buckled which I can easily replace as well as the front bar and both fenders, again easily replaced. So my main concern is getting this back on the road asap and I'm going to try and do a majority of the work myself. I'm still waiting for insurance but am not sure if they're going to cover it yet. I'm assuming the steering and anything else connected directly to the wheels is damaged. I'd really like to know where I can source these sort of parts from???

Engine and gearbox appears to be fine but I will confirm over the weekend.

Once I've taken the wheels and fenders off I'll take some photos to give you all a better idea of what I'm lookin at.

Unfortunately I'm in Darwin so there's absolutely nothing up here in the way of parts so I'll just be taking photos and posting them up here or finding a copy of the R34 manual and getting part numbers. Hopefully something will come up. I know I'm already up for new mags, front bar and fenders which is fine but its the running gear i'm concerned about. pretty much folded the front tyres outwards so pushing the fenders out and snapping the axels :D

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
