Hey guys,

I'm looking at buying a flood damaged statutory write-off to use as a donor car for parts to repair my repairable write-off.

I would like to use the airbags from the statutory write-off but I can't seem to find any concrete information regarding the legality to do so.

The flood damage is freshwater that only made it to floor pan level and the airbags themselves remained dry and will function as normal. Once the car is fixed it will be inspected in Queensland.

Wondering if someone's had the same experience or knows the legality of this?

Thanks

I have no idea on the legaltity of parts that come from a stat write off, other than to point out there is no way you, any buyer, any engineer or inspector would know a part came from a stat write off.

Man, is this some kind of SEO spam thing again? If not, I apologise and shall excuse myself.

- First post - check

- Zero relation to Skylines - check

- Odd formatting because of copy pasted content - check

- A bunch of other forums with pretty much identical posts by first posters - check

:(

    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
