Hey all. Restoring a plastic Altia body kit ive got and spraying it white to match my car, and had a few questions So I have been pulling the mesh grills off, ready for spray painting, and was going to re-coat the grills in Black. The grills are metal, not plastic, as some spots the coating has lifted and i can see theyre metal. It seems the coating on them is some sort of thick rubberised coating with a smooth finish. It’s definitely much thicker than powder coat and has a different texture. Has anyone stripped this sort of part back and re-coated it? What did you use to strip it back and what coating did you go with afterwards? I was going to try and blast it, but not sure if that’s the best option for this kind of coating Also on the black plastic “SKYLINE” section at the bottom, it’s obviously just raw black plastic, unpainted. Unfortunately there is a small scuff on it, what can i do to get that looking nice and remove the scuff? I also have a dent in the rear bar, seems heat has deformed it, i didnt want to just sand it back as the dent may be too deep and cause the plastic to be too thin in that area, how can I shape it back ready to light sand and maybe a little high fill? Lastly, on the rear bar are some “grill” checkered plastic feature bits that are unpainted, and have faded to grey. Whats the best way to restore them to a nice black? thanks heaps in advance!

FOR SALE: 1999 R34 GTT 5 Speed manual Coupe. Rego till Nov 2014, has 90XXXkm on odometer. Pearl black GV1 + 3M DINOC Carbon fibre pattern wrapped bonnet. I am the second owner since it was imported into Australia in 2010. I purchased this late 2012, and so have had it for 1.5 years. Absolutely love it to bits, and if you see the little details on this car you’ll understand. Always bought best parts possible. Interior is in great condition, there is some scratching on the arm rest console, but the centre console and dash is in great condition – so is trim on the doors etc. All electronics work perfectly fine. Still have original Nissan keys. No log books though. I have receipts of work done and parts bought for the car. A lot of stuff sourced from Japan directly. Never been hassled by police. Click here for more pictures: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/iysjc4wi2yhtqmq/QAjyRucO7K Mods: Bilstein shocks + King springs (as recommended by many forum members), is very comfortable and a great balance between stiffness and comfort. Is also lowered (circlip adjustments) Cusco sway bars front + rear URAS front tie rods URAS castor rods Replaces HICAS tie rods with brand new OEM Nissan arms HICAS lock bar Whiteline bushes installed (forgot which ones but look underneath the car and you’ll see them) Custom-made (by me) 192 LED reverse lights Has a Blitz BOV (on car since Japan) Blitz pod filter (stainless steel mesh) + Perspex ‘box’ handmade(by me) Full Kakimoto exhaust ending with Kakimoto cannon (on car from Japan) Nismo single plate coppermix clutch + flywheel + braided clutch line Immobiliser, alarm, central locking installed from compliance (AUS standards) Interior: Pioneer head unit (very basic, has CD, AUX, USB/MP3) no Bluetooth – but also have a Bluetooth-enabled head unit if you want it (will replace) Replaced steering wheel with woodgrain OEM Nissan item (from Yahoo JP, listed as coming from another R34) GTR VSpecII metal pedals direct from Nissan Nismo gear knob 18% Tint (actually not sure on percentage) Bonnet gas struts (from NYTSKY’s groupbuy) – carbon fiber, look and work awesome GARAX HID bulbs I think there are aftermarket speakers in the car but not sure who put them in Exterior: 3M DINOC carbon fiber wrap on bonnet (Done at an SAU event in 2013) Nismo LMGT4s 17 x 7.5/8.5 (+35 offset each…I think) in original bronze, they do have rash from previous owner in Japan though. Put on fresh new NISMO stickers on last year. Tyres are Nitto INVO, had them on since early 2013 and have driven less than 5000km since Altia body kit from factory SAU Sticker on rear quarter window (hahaha) Nismo smoked side indicators Things that may need attention: Paint is fading on the top, seems to be various rainspots of fading too – I think from acid rain in Japan, because also when I had the car there was buildup on all windows which I removed with a product (still have it, forgot name now). Couple of dings on the sides from people opening doors (WHY ARE PEOPLE SO STUPID). Previous owner bumped the rear left, so there’s a chip and bit of panel gap. Gearbox chatter accelerating in 4th gear at 60-65km/h, gone after that – have a written report from JLM that it’s consistent with age of gearbox. Doesn’t affect driving at all. There are a 3 cigarette burns in the seat, either from previous owner or owner in Japan, not me as I don’t smoke (and you can tell if you sit inside the car) ------------------------------------------------ No finance on it. Always serviced on time, have changed spark plugs, oil, gearbox, diff oil, recently. Is a great car to drive, comfortable, stock power but is plenty for street driving really. Plenty of boot space. Can fit 5 people inside (has 3 seatbelts in the back). I’m looking to move onto motorbikes so am making the decision to let this go. Still has flare from Japan!!!! Note: does not come with all the trinkets/accessories in the car - and as you can see I have added a few woodgrain accessories, will remove and/or replace with stock parts upon sale. Asking price is $16500 or Swaps + cash my way for a motorbike (must be LAMS approved), DON’T OFFER ANOTHER CAR Small mods can be parted out (depending on item) just ask me in the thread. Not willing to part out any of the suspension bits (which are most of the proper mods anyway). If you want the car without some mods contact me and we’ll work something out. PM or call/message 0422 eight three nine 8 8 8. Don’t waste my time.
