Trying to track down two parts on behalf of my repairer that they're having trouble tracking down:

* R34 passenger side xenon headlight

* R34 drivers seat for a sedan (not sure if this is different to the coupe)

Drop me a PM if you know of where to source these or have them yourselves.

R34 front 4 door and 2 ddor seats are identical Jenna (I bought the leatherette covers ofr a coupe and they fitted my 4 door perfectly). The seat rails are however different - is the rail stuffed?

If they are repairing the car, shouldn't they get Geniune Nissan parts from Nissan. Instead of getting you (the client) to source out the parts on behalf of them?

I'd been told my the insurance assessor that the repairer was having dramas finding parts - so I figured I'd try here, and other sources to help out. Turns out he's already sourced the seat, so that doesn't matter - was just missed on the quote for some reason.

My big concern is apparently the assessor is wanting to repair the headlight because of the cost of a replacement. Apparently some mob in Melbourne can put a new glass front on it or something. My obvious concern here is how well that would match my existing headlight.

I would have thought it would be easier to source a local genuine xenon headlight that's been converted to H1, and use my parts to convert it back to xenon. I might have a chat with repairer about that tomorrow. I really don't want a 'dodgy'.

Genuine NIssan parts would make the cost of repair way too high, and the car would be economically written off by the assessor. Crash repairers put quotes together using a combination of new and used/reconditioned parts to make the repair affordable.

I had the same option to source parts when my car was being repaired (by the same repairer Jenna is using), as they will not order/source the parts until the car is in the workshop. If you can source parts, this helps speed things up, as sometimes the client may have better inside knowledge than the repairer. Plus, the parts you find can sometimes result in the repairer paying you for them :)

for the price you pay for insurance make them get genuine

As above Steve. ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
