Well I just managed to wreck my pristine 95' R33 GTR.

Only done 68km, she's sitting in a yard right now. I don't have a precise idea of all the damage, but afaik the engine should be intact as well as plenty of other things, at least 2 of the wheels are fine, seats, dash, brakes etc. etc.

I'm not much of a mechanic, so I'd prefer to avoid parting it out myself

if anyone here is interested in buying the wreck from me, it is available for inspection around ryde, my phone number is 0425222753.

I will update this post tomorrow with pictures and more information when I check out the car. I'm sure there's a lot that can be salvaged from it. The car impacted a tree on the passenger side, however the damage to the front is not too extensive.

Just give me one day to get down to the yard, get some pics and get a better idea of the damage. The tower hasn't gotten back to me : /

Btw the car is 100% stock

Ok well as you can see the car is pretty beat up. Smashed in from the side, some damage to the front - virtually no damage to the rear or driver's side.

The engine should be ok, not so sure about the timing belt? the pictures are pretty acccurate, the front has been crunched a bit, but it doesn't really get as far as the engine.

All the brakes are fine.

1 out of the four wheels is damaged, I put a pic up of one of the wheels where the tyre was dislodged, but I couldn't see anything actually wrong with the wheel.

winshield = cracked

Drivers seat & dash are fine, passenger seat is pretty messed up. Back seat may be salvageable but its been knocked a bit. Generally the interior is in good shape.

As for the rest of it mechanically, have a look at the pictures or call me up and I'll show it to you (0425222753)

I'm hoping to find someone to buy the wreck as is.

Its 68000km, first australian owner, all stock. hoping for something around the 8k mark. I'm not a mechanic, but I'm expecting most of the car to be mechanically sound and I know the engine alone is worth a decent bit.

I'm happy to show it to people or answer any questions to the best of my ability and am of course willing to negotiate. If I can't make a decent deal on the wreck as is then I'll consider parting it out.

Good luck with selling the wreck as is, but I dare say you will get a lot of buyers if you part out.

the fatz strikes again..

Sorry to see this OP, looked like a nice car :(

Yeah it was, I was loving it for the whole month I had it...

The accident totally took me by surprise, I wasn't even doing anything that crazy, I came into a corner doing like 65-70. The corner would've only been like a 30 degree bend, but it wasn't rounded, like you come into it and then have to change direction sort of. I must have given it too much power, too quickly, coming out of the corner because the car suddenly lost traction - skidded to the right/then to the left and came all the way around to crash into a tree on the passenger side with the car facing the way it came...

I realised about 2 weeks ago that apparently the car had retreaded tyres on it and made a note to replace the tyres ASAP. But I was a bit strapped for cash since buying the car and hadn't gotten around to it.

I don't know anything about retreads except that they're supposed to be pretty terrible. I wonder if getting some decent tyres would've saved my ass?? Compared to any other cars I've owned the gtr handled like it was on rails, but it did surprise me a couple times how easily things could go south if the grip did give.

Here's a "before" pic lol:

My life plan now is pretty much save up money and not make the same mistakes twice. If I get another GTR I'd get the best tyres possible, take it to a track asap to get the best driving education I can and insure the f**k out of it lol. I pretty much just figured I wouldn't crash it, since I've never crashed anything else. before

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
