look at my S2 1998. hit by little boy last nite.

how much it cost to fix it.

anyone think it will be total loss?

my friend said the all the damage need to get a new parts. it is too hard to fix it.

if total loss, how much the insureance will pay me? I paid 17000for it 2 year ago. and I have third party insureance only.

You answered your own question third party insurance only covers the third party - that is not you , and the only way that's a write off (which is irrelevant "third party" means no money for a write off) is if the rear damage has affected the chassis ( they will likely just pull it straight) on the bright side u probably only need a new front quarter panel and rear door the rest can be repaired and repainted talk to a panel beater and my bet is they will say just that, and cost depends on what u do yourself and the panel beaters mood, still a pain in the arse though good luck with it all.

If someone hit you, then they are liable to cover the cost of the repairs. Hopefully they have at a minimum, 3rd party. At a glance, it doesn't look too bad, but considering that the damage includes the rear arch/door guard, it will increase the cost of the repair significantly.

Disregard what you paid for hte car 2 years ago, look at what the car is currently insured for. Once you figure that out, you will get an idea of how much damage will be required to write it off. In my opinion, it will not be a right off, but the damage to the reat makes it a bit more difficult to judge.

mate if someone hit you then their insurance company (if they are insured) will have to pay for repairs or pay-out the market value of the vehicle if written off. aslong as you got all their details i would take it to afew panel beater joints (up market ones) and get about 3 repair quotes (if repairable) and forward them to his insurance company.

might just be the angle of the photo and the changed shape of the rear door/gaurd - but it looks like your rear wheel might be a bit out.....if so, then if i were you i'd be praying for a write off because once a car has it's suspension knocked out it's never really the same - esp with the complicated HICAS rear ends.....

but you might be lucky. i had a skyline written off, bought the wreck, then sourced all the replacement parts and took it to a panel beater - cost me 3k to fix it, and i got a full respray! so there is always opportunity for a win ;-)

rear dogleg is smashed to f**k. You would be mad to try and fix that. IMO you should pray for a write off

and if the cost of parts isbased on prices from Nissan (and it will being an import) then it will get written off

    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
    • Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
    • Agreed it actively wants to kill you which I love driving fast cars slow is my stick
    • Awesome! I was thinking S14 since they are longer. I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the input!
