put it this way though.. you spend $7k and get some lucky breaks and get it fixed.. assuming you paid $16k you have theoretically bought a $23k car .. now only worth maybe $16k on sale time in the next 12 months (assuming you find a buyer). So that $7k is a worthless sunk cost..

Now if you can sell the car for about $9k for parts, that is your "break even" point... where you may as well screw the time / effort getting it fixed.. and just flog the parts. Anything above $9k for all the parts makes sense.. anything under $9k doesn't.

Do the maths.. think the costs.. and it should all make logical sense :cheers:

mmmgtir why u laughin for?

why u takin this as a joke

i just totalled my skyline pretty much and i have oly owned it for a few weeks, and i just lost $16000+ and u find it funny

how about we meet up

habibskyline sorry for using your face as my avatar

nice to see back on the road after your Guantanomo Bay experience...

...even if it was shortlived

theres no need for keyboard warriors on these forums.

sorry to hear about the car, but as everyone has said, in future, dont buy a car without having full insurance. have the insurance ready and set up and have ureself covered as soon as u exit the car yard, persons driveway.

And if you were that tired you really shouldnt have been driving my friend.

at least u werent being an utter d&*khead sliding around corners or anything. (from what weve heard).

I had a mate that wrote off his Series 4 RX-7. He had it for 2 days and drove it as if he thought he had the car for 2 years and knew it like the back of his hands, i had no sympathy for him when he wrote it off the 2nd day, with me in the car cus he was driving like a mental going sideways every gear change in the wet. He too had no insurance, or only 3rd party or something

On a serious note bro.

A lot of people have suggested a few options to you. At the end of the day its your choice. If you really love that car and wanna keep it then fix it. But if it all comes down to money, do what will benefit you financially.

A wise man once said:

'You think that something is bad for you, but God knows its really good for you, and you may think something is good for you, but God knows its bad for you'.

Who knows, if you never had this accident, you could have had a worse one a few minutes later and could have lost your life. This accident could have been a means of stopping you from getting into something worse.

    • And 90% of the time those people turn out to be wrong anyway. But they still treat themselves as a victim...
    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
