[sh@un]

[Krishy]

or could have been done while shipping....sorry to hear/see that mate...

[Deluxe]

If thats all your worries are then Pfffft....... Can be easily fixed for Fek all cash!!

Nice car btw, i'm sure you'll be grinning from ear to ear!!

[nisskid]

oh man, u just imported a car and ur worried about a chip that size? man that car must be f**king imac if ur so worried about something like that.

u would have cried if u saw what my car looked like when it came off the boat.

[DRD-00F]

Throw it out... you can't fix that...

and kill yourself too... try and take out a few expecting mothers as well...

No one should have to deal with this level of in-humanity...

[ArenaGTR]

No shit Steven!! GOOD IDEA!! You want my car? for two dowlla? It's a crap car now! Imma perfectionist!!

hehe Stewy, nah, I wouldn't cry, but I would prolly suffer from a heart attack......

But yeah, I am not worrying much, just exaggerating things a little hehe

shouldn't cost me too much to repair that, oh yer, need to change thrust bearing too, cuz my car is making weird cluck cluck cluck noise whenever I step my foot down the clutch pedal

Any idea how much would cost me to get them fixed?

[Simon-S14]

take it to All Type Crash (or take them a photo ) and get a quote, Allan and Hayden are skyline fanatics down there so they will look after you.

Lovely looking beast - i'm really coming around to the 33 GTR looks in that silver especially - maybe also 'cos everything on the 32 getting old!

If its a standard clutch, change that at the same time if you got any bucks left because it wont last long when your testing out that magical 7k RPM launch

I paid $1100 installed for an Xtreme HD single plate in 05 and it's still clamping as well as ever. I guess thrust bearing would probably be around $3-500 depending where you go - pivot ball snapping a few days before christmas cost me $500 but that's more because of when not what.

[Turbz_13]

I reckon ya can fix that mate, i had a friend with an rs turbo liberty that copped a massive bit taken out of his front bar(being plastic) and the plastic welded it and re painted it and it looks fine.

them 33 gtr bars are worth a dollar!

[paulR32gtr]

oh and if you do change the clutch - hold onto the bits don't leave them at the workshop - you can get them rebuilt down the track

[260tech]

Lovely lovely car, Jim Berry clutch package, paint shop...........in that order & allus good!

Cheers GW

[Nightcrawler]

that sucks .... but it is nothing worse than you will do to it the first time you hit a decent spoon drain or carparking bump when you aren't expecting one. The Chips Away (or similar mobile duco repair mob) - they specialise in that sort of thing. The whole bar doesn't need to be repainted.

[gtrkiet]

... >.< everyone chips there fornt bar sooner or later ahahah

[eMsta]

i understand what this guy is going through

i was going nuts over a little dent left by the tint professor......there are still scratches and chips on my car that i need to get rid off - i cant stand it not looking perfect

[Hillzy]

I can understand too. I bought my car in perfect condition with not even a car park ding on it.

Then one day I notice a small chip out of the paint from mrs effing who gives a sh*t's door.

Now it pisses me off everyday haha
