a question for skyline people here... is it really that simple? swap in a rb26dett drivetrain into a GT-4 and you can get a poor man's GTR?

1998 Nissan Skyline GT-4 R34 coupe

There's lots of reasons people don't want a well kept relatively rare car that they own not to be written off. It's not inconprehendible.

Because it doesn't look too bad of a hit. I doubt it has any significant damage at all. And you better pray the market isn't filled with pieces of junk that ICBC will undervalue its worth

I guess if you are into making profits, then yes, it's better to write it off and have ICBC give him a cheque.

i'm more curious to know if all that work has made it faster or not because of this:

Quote:
2465 Garrett ball bearing turbocharger.
makes 20 psi all day long @160hp atw.
these little things weigh something like 1600-1700lbs i think.

I'm guessing when the bumper beam got pulled into that position it didn't come off the frame cleanly. Then you've got the hood, fender, bumper skin, grille, lights, damaged wiring for the lights, likely frame damage, possible suspension damage from the weight, etc etc.

For the Porsche guys

1975 Porsche 911 911S for $28,000 in LANGLEY | autoTRADER.ca

I have no idea what a "Sportamatic" is. A quick google search says they are very rare and very expensive to fix. So, maybe not a good buy...
