Both Waterford Panel Beater and Kudos Motorsports have been more than helpful in assisting during the whole insurance claim and helping me decide whether or not to go ahead with the restore work on the gtr. Unfortunately the cost of restore is more than what I would like to pay.

Waterford Panel Beater

James is a down to earth person with a passion for restoring cars to excellent condition, kinda reminds me of Dan from ERD. Unfortunately I've decided to not keep to car but I am sure he will do a good job if I did. This is based on the work I see him do and reviews from friends. My experience with him has been nothing but good. He is a busy man but never fails to follow up on request and I do feel bad interrupting him during work. Before the accident I thought only Cameron Body Works the only go to for panel work but now I know where to bring my next car to should I need any work done.

Andrew is quick and positive about everything. The list of parts I gave him wasnt exactly easy but he manage to turn that around within 3days with a really good price too. To anyone after parts, definitely give Andrew a go. I have bought parts from him in the past and he's been extremely helpful all the time. He's just located at Gold Coast which makes collection easy too.

Cheers.

Sad to hear about the end result for you, really... Cameron's bodyworks? If only I could take back the 7g I paid for a respray and paint it myself with a roller

Ant: I was involved in a 4 car accident on my car to Dreamworld. The car in front of me was too close to the car in front and jammed brake. I don't think I'd get out of it even if I were to go through it again because I was a good 3-4 car behind her. Anyway that's all history.

Nooba: That's what he said to me when he bought it off me. I was actually looking for someone to restore it and if I cant find anyone, I'll let it go to someone that's gonna wreck it. Anyway that's disappointing but it's his car anyway.

Hopefully the inspection will go well tomorrow for my next car. Else I'll just be driving around in a 4cyc turbo diesel until I got money for a R34 M-Spec NUR.

thats a real shame. Brandon. I recall an accident happening around dreamworld a few weeks ago.

Only just realised you had an N1

Such a shame. At least you have insurance

Best of luck with the NUR spec mate

All the best with your future search Brandon.

Thanks.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
