Had a guy run up my arse last week and repairers have said its a write off. Being in SA I have to wait a week and a half before the insurance assessor looks at it, and from what I understand if he agrees with the repairers that it's a repairable write off then they'll give me money and I'll go shopping...anyway I also understand you can buy your wreck off of the insurer for a decent price as they typically just take it to auction and get what they can...just wondering what the majority of you would be willing to pay for it from the insurer?

Details are:

93 R33 S1 GTST Auto (Black)

155xxx kms

Rear left quarter damage and probably a little rear right as well due to the impact

Engine fairly stock, just a pod, replaced a few hoses with silicon etc

Just want to have some idea so when the assessor gives me a figure I'll know whether or not to buy it back and sell as is or part it out.

thanks

best just to let it go... insurers want too much for them these days especially if you cant show probable cause (excessive modifications) to show why you want it back, they pay you its their car, and they would rather see it hit auction and fetch a decent price from my experiences....

up to you. they will probably want around the $3,200 mark. maybe less.

but have you got buyers for the parts? work out weather it is feasible for you first. have a scrap car sitting around feasting parts off it, or put the extra cash into the new car?

thanks for the reply and rough figure. Haven't got buyers lined up for heaps of parts, just one possible showing interest for the rb25det but not wanting to pay too much and that's about it. I guess if it was like 10-15% of the insured amount then I'd do it to try and make a few bucks back. They would have a fair idea how much they'd consistently get for something like this though I would assume

    • Hi everyone, I'm generally new to DIY projects, and I've browsed this forum and watched a lot of youtube videos but still have a few questions   Firstly, how does spray painting interior hold up? in particular like vinyl parts, my current mode of thinking is to use methyl spirits to take off original paint, clean/prep well, light coats, no primer or clear coat    Secondly, what is recommended for the headliner and, for example (my car is a r34), the A-pillars which are some kind of other fabric material, do you think I would be successful at retrimming these? or would it be better to go down the blacking out via Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric Paint    Any other advice / tips / tricks for refreshing/modernising these interiors?    Thanks

    • Just note that when trying to find a short in a globe power supply, it is best to disconnect the globe as it will allow current through to earth. With it unplugged it is easier not to get confused. Also with the r32 wiring, the high beam has 2 power supplies (one when you push the switch forward and the other when you temporarily pull it back; so if it is the high beam blowing you will need to trace both circuits

    • That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.
