What's going on guys welcome back to the channel so today it's gonna be a really exciting video
we actually got a new build let's go pick it up. So we just made it to IAA in Houston Texas
about a 12 hour drive there's the car we got right there it's a 2015 Nissan GTR.
All right guys here it is the 2015 Nissan GTR we just got it loaded up
now we just need to strap this car down and hit the road we'll check it out once we get home.
So we got the car nice and secure we got two straps in the front to both front wheels and
we have two nutty straps over here to the rear subframe let's go ahead and hit the road.
Okay so after 20 hours of driving we finally made it back to the shop now it's time to just
unload this thing and catch you guys back tomorrow because I'm tired I need some sleep
so let's go ahead and get these ramps all set up and see if this thing can drive off
because the suspension over here is kind of bent up but I think we can send it and it will drive
it'll work let's do it. Let's get into the details of how bad this car is wrecked so we have a little
bit of damage up here the front bumper is stuffed up pretty bad it did have a clear bra on there
which kind of saved some of the scratches but the fender is awesome has a little bit of dents
it looks like he hit a concrete wall or something because just the way the damage is up here and
then in the back we have all the serious damage we have some major suspension damage and the
quarter panel is obviously destroyed the rear bumper is going to need to replace too because
it is just absolutely all the brackets are destroyed on it let's go ahead and see what's
inside the trunk we got some fender liners I guess the insurance company actually took everything
apart we got the fender liners got a taillight I think we can probably fix this taillight has
one broken tab right there which isn't too bad because these things are pretty expensive
and then we also have the old headlight which is awesome because we get all the other stuff
that comes with it like the ballast is I think not really too sure but there it is we might be
able to fix that with a little bit of flex tape or something we'll have to get into that later
let's go ahead and see what else is in here
all right I guess we have some more fender liners
all this stuff out of here I'm guessing this is a part of the rear trunk right here
oh yeah it is then we have the air duct I'm guessing for the front
oil cooler right here and then some skid plates all right let's get everything else out
and another skid plate I'm guessing this goes on the bottom of the car
does have a little bit of damage right there definitely be getting a new one of these
no idea what it is but we will be
letting get everything out of there that's good all the parts are actually in there
usually insurance companies would just take all the parts out and just leave them out of the car
but I got really lucky with this car now I want to pop off this rear bumper and just zip tie it
on with these metal zip ties so let's go ahead and pop this rear bumper off and see what's the
right we got the bumper off pretty sure this thing might be able to be fixed but I'm not
really too sure we might get a new bumper this thing's pretty destroyed we're off and now we
can see this thing actually has a titanium akrapovic exhaust which is really nice I heard
these things sound amazing but the damage back here isn't really too bad basically just a whole
quarter pound needs to be replaced back here doesn't really look like they hit the frame
rails or any of that so I'm pretty happy about that now let's go ahead and see the interior
check this out Nissan GT-R so we've in the interior all we have is just two airbags are
deployed we have the roof airbag and the seat airbag which shouldn't be too big of a problem
pretty easy to replace pretty easy to get to so now that we've seen all the damage on this car
let's go ahead and jack up this rear get this rear rim off and see how bad the damage is under
there I probably want to straighten out some of those control arms so we can drive the car around
a lot better because right now it does not really drive that good and we'll be putting on the frame
soon so let's go ahead and get this wheel off and see what's going on under there so we got the wheel
off and now I see exactly what's bent it's just this tie rod right here looks like it's pretty
thin so we're gonna go ahead and take that piece off straighten it out put it back on just so we
can move the car a lot better and we're putting it on the frame machine so we're not rushing
and we'll go ahead and place an order on that so let's get that thing off and get it straightened
all right we got the control arm off now we're basically just going to hammer it down
straighten it out just so we can move the car
looks good there we go guys basically oem we will be replacing this later but I just want
to get the wheel straight for now go ahead and slap this thing back on take it up the road
so we got the control arm back on there now we're going to put the wheel back on there
and see how it lines up hopefully it fits there we go nice and straight it's ready for the drag
strip so we got the wheel all straightened down it's pretty crazy just one control almost bent
like a banana but we took a sledgehammer to it straightened it all out now the wheel is sitting
nice and straight now the next thing we need to do is go ahead and start stripping this car down
because we will be replacing this entire quarter panel with a brand new oem quarter panel which
means we're gonna have to replace take these glass out take both of the glasses out and we're
gonna have to take out some of the interior parts we need to get the seat out and obviously the
current airbag is blown so we might as well just go ahead and strip the entire interior up and get
ready for new airbags so let's go ahead and strip everything out and get this thing ready for some
new parts we got the recaro seat out as you can tell it is ripped pretty bad so we'll have to
take it off the actual seat the cover and get it shipped out so somebody can resell it and now
we're gonna go ahead and move into the interior we need to go ahead and start stripping down
everything get the seat belts out i'm pretty sure i want to go with the red
seat belt because i think it'll match the car really good plus all the red acids so it's right
at the team inside we got the entire interior disassembled we got all the airbags out the roof
out now we need to move on to cutting out the windows it's gonna be pretty easy we got this
nice gun right here it's gonna cut the window out real quick so let's go ahead and cut this one out
so we got both windows out of the gtr now it's time to move on to the rear
trunk area we need to go ahead and remove everything because the way this
quarter panel is replaced is right here on the side there's a seam down here and inside here
so let's get this trunk off and get everything out of here so we don't burn anything when we're
welding it all right guys so we got the entire car stripped down we got a lot of parts just
chilling everywhere but check it out in the back we got all the seats out everything is basically
ready to go ahead and change this quarter out exactly how the factory recommends it right here
and just the spot welds in and up here so it's gonna be a pretty simple procedure to replace
this quarter panel we also went ahead and take everything out of the trunk so that looks really
good in there and that's it basically just needs to go on the frame machine pull it out a little
bit more and get that replaced all right guys that's gonna be a wrap for today's video we got
the entire gtr all stripped down now we know exactly what parts we need to order this build
should be pretty quick there's not a lot of damage it's a simple quarter panel and a simple
fender repair if you enjoyed this video go ahead and drop a like hit the subscribe button and
