damn good thread guys then it stops. what was the verdict with bringing the car in? was it No, Personal import as in it was or it came in another way. Too true also Nissan should have grabbed one ASAP and had it doing the rounds. Hoping there will be one on show at the Melb Motor show starting this week....................

There is one at Melbourne International Motor Show.

Had a preview yesterday of it in full race trim sporting new orange vinyl graphics.

Interior setup is also quite trick with cage, seats and custom door trims well integrated and finished.

Pity they still have to run factory 20" rims; with no R compound tyres available in this size they are stuck with road tyres.

Yeah Gav its pretty gay isnt it - if only they allowed the 19's to go on it.

Car is looking great, Ill get a pic up this arvo or tomorrow, as ill be flat out all weekend with the Fabcar Team.

Wish Steve the best of luck, the driver and car are more then capable, so hope it comes together for him.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
