Go buy the GTR

Then tell us what it's like once you are inside the inner sanctum of the GTR/Melbourne GTR/R33 GTR owners club!

Yeah.. there's many options on the table.. some are 'easier' than others.

It's going on a hoist at Micolour today. Will have to physically have a look under there and see just how destroyed it all actually is.

The whole write off, buy back wreck is an option too, lots of messing around though.

Engine swaps are not always that simple either.

Only thing more Victoria proof than a boring auto R34 sedan, is something that is actually EPA proof

but.. 330kw @ 3500..

Went through the exact situation as yourself

R34 write off

Buy back off insurance

New engine swap

Was a pretty straight forwardish process

Were you with shannons?

How much did it cost, relative to what the agreed value was?

Some people have suggested this actually ends up 'making' money.

Who did the job?

Did you just do the engine, or the entire driveline, suspension, etc?

Mine is auto, there'd be a lot of wiring and random junk to do to. Most/all of which is undocumented and highly shit.

Pretty sure the assessor wouldn't know what his looking for mods wise so should be a low buy back value

Going to guess about $2k

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
