Hey peoples,

I have a GENUINE R32 GTR bumper that will be going on my GTS/t soon.. it however, has two cracks just near where the area under the front lights goes in to the grill area... if you get what i mean...see pic... the red lines!

As these bumpers are made of plastic, what can I use to "hold" the cracks together ? Fibreglass the backside, then fill with resin, sand, and body filler for any minor imperfections ? Or maybe glue a SMALL piece of wood (eg. plywood) to hold the gap together, then fibreglass over the wood ... then sand, fill the front side with resin, then bog?

Has anyone got a guide to bodywork like this?

Cheers,

Jel

Take it to a plastic interior repairer, he'll have it plastic welded back together in no time.... my cracks were huge on my GTR front bar and it was fixed perfect!! U cant even see where the repair work was done. Plus they will prime it was plastic primer so it'll be ready to paint again!

Thank you, for all your help! (both of you) :)

Although I still have to wait till monday! ;)

some good auto body repairers .. and definately motorbike repair shops can weld plastic.. but if its a big crack... like a bit cracked off, most places wont touch it.. its not as string anymore and the bar will more than likely crack again..

Just a suggestion, but the way you seem so worried about the state of your car, unless you know exactly what you're doing, it might not be a good idea to try something so risky on your own car. :domokun:

Well, that's just me at least. I don't trust myself to do important things I've never done. Gotta practice it all first.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
