whats the damage? my 34 was written off recently simply for the fact that they cannot source the parts or it costed too much to source the bits. I could have fixed it myself for about 2.5k. although I rekon my hit was at about 10-20 Ks. it still ran fine and was in mint condition but still written off.

Just re-read your post, if she hit you at 80KMPH, definate write off hands down. pics would be good too. where are you located?

Cannot see Pic yet Tara.

I presume you got rear-ended?

A write-off is more likely if you've been T-boned - due to rail & B-pillar damage > terminally lost

If your car has been rear-ended and it's scewed, a panelbeater with a robot can realign its configuration to near perfect.

But it'll depend too on how much your car is insured for Vs how much the repair will cost on your R33 GTS-T (give or take)...

I'd be surprised if its not a write off. Rear ended at 80KMPH, hitting the car in front as well so front and rear damage. Comparing it to my repair bill just for bump to an actual crash.

...especially Ricky that there's probably not too much value in a GTS-T these days

[tara]

I sure its a write off,but its just not sinking in..cant drive it at all,boot doest open..I need my sub and amp..grrrr...value at abt 12.000...

Get all your valuables outta there before it's assessed

I saw yr post after I wrote mine,sorry abt yr loss..Do u have any pic?

I still cant believe that mine is gone,I stand at the car,just staring at it...Had so much trouble,must b a vic thing, tow guy wanted cash on the spot,$260,I said i can pay by credit card, i wanted my car brought hm... He said nope cash only,took to depo and gave me a infor on my rights, which I read in da morning.. He was meant to accept card or aggree for me to pay later.. Rang vic roads,the guy and company got there ass kicked, and brought my car hm, i didt have to pay any towing...I grew up in syd, now in mel... It really suxs here...lots of sunday drivers...

We brought another car, ford xr6, but just not like a skyline, hate drivin it, and sooo many around..

nah man, I'm quite sure that would be a write off unless you are insured for about 10x the value. your front damage appears to be very similar to mine.

See attached. My car was insured at the exact value i got it for. repair bill JUST for that would have been well over $10K (as they said anyway, but another assessor on here has told me that it also depends on the repairer you go to, and that the one I went to was more of a General repairer. There was an import specialist like 30CM away that I could have went to and MAY have not got it written off).

As usual, i forget to attach photos. but uploading soon. Is your car insured for under or close to $10k?

Edit: Photo attached.

Also take out any non-standard bit if you can, swap the wheels with stock. I wouldn't go too far to mess with any mechanical though like your exhaust or whatever mods you got in your engine bay but

Thats a write off

You cant fart on the car without the damage exceeding the cars wholesale value

On a good note that looks like easy fix it was a pretty square hit so the unibody wouldnt be to far twisted , buy it back and redo it even better!!

Hi Tara,

Your accident reminds me of my accident a few years ago with my previous car. I was at the lights when out of no where a truck rear ended my car and pushed my car right into the 4wd in front of me. My cars ass was at least 4 feet in the air at the point of impact and i suffered some whiplash out of it. My damage was worse than yours, every single panel on the car was damaged, except for the doors, roof and left rear quarter. I still remember watching my car being towed away with the right rear wheel just barely dangling from the axle...

But here's the thing, my car actually got repaired. It wouldn't have been if it wasn't for my smash repairer (who was my family friend). My smash repairer dealt with every single part of the process (paper work, insurance, assessor etc.). The assessor kept saying to me that the car was a write off (because the value of the repairs (14k) exceeded the value of the car (12k)), he kept insisting that i receive the payout and scrap the car.But my family friend is a very sly dude and spoke his way to convincing the assessor, so i guess i got lucky

If you want pics i can send them to you
