You will need to take it to a plastic welder first, then take it to a panel shop to prime it and repaint it.

I modified my bar when i put the fmic on, by cutting off the middle strip that holds the number plates. I didn't like the holes that were left (not to mention giving the cops another reason to get my car off the road) so i got them to plastic weld a couple of square blocks in the holes. Even before the bar was painted you couldn't tell were the welds were (from the front), except for the missing paint. Now the bar look factory and for a fraction of the price to get an aftermarket.

rev zone and sonic can not help you... they only sell mods and accessories... the best place i recommend and Auswide Panels in Ringwood. The do all the body kits for RevZone, Sonic Racing, Makspeed etc.... very very good from my experience.

cheers.

hey Al nice car dude...front bar has come up alright...but mine is diff to urs its the GTR style...

I've fixed my bar up finally, looks alright now just needs abit ofsanding in one spot and then it read to be sprayed, quite proud of myself...:P

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
