looks quite bad but hopefully its all starting to look pretty good now!

Makes me wonder though. My mate who has too much money and not enough brains, is just gonna lash out $6500 to get his GTR fixed. Similar damage levels I think. I told him he was best off doing it himself if he wasn't too lazy to try..

Looks like you took out a bit of a farm there smooth :rofl:

ouch man

that is pretty bad,

you should get someone who knows what their doing to measure the sub-frames to see if their bent at all. Any harder and you would have taken out the radiator and probably bent the chassis too

best bet: Take it to a well known import repairer and ask them to have a look, aslong as you seem like you will get it fixed there. Theyll be happy to do it for free.

DMD MITE be able to do it, buy their mainly bodykit, not body-repair

id say just get a wheel alignment done that will give u a fair indication of whether or not something is out of wack or not, thats what i did after my run in with a gutter, luckily it all came up sweet. Id say u should be right though.

Its all complete now! Ac fan and two new lights went on today! The lights are different, but god damn they look nice :) Took me a while to get it all to sit properly...

Knore: you should have done it yourself, if i didnt have to wait for parts etc, I would have had it done in 1 day. About 12 hours labour I guess...

Final pics of progress and finished product to come tommorow...

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
