what did u pay for the new wing?

bought off a forum member for $350

if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost you to repair the guards?

Not repaired yet, cheapest quote I've gotten so far from a panel-beater is for $1400. That's to weld up some metal plates to the inside of the boot, then puttying up the holes properly and blending the paintwork from the roof so no-one can tell there was ever that abomination of a wing.

I can probably get a simple bog and spray job done for $600, but in the long run it always ends up looking shit down the track and have to be re-done anyway

Just want a proper job done first time, between work and TAFE just no free time to get it done :ninja: !

like I said I can get a rush job done and have it look like sh*t down the track,

That quote is from a professional nrma endorsed panel beater, they fixed my sisters car when she got in a prang and it came out looking better than before.

The job would involve removing trims, panels and rubber seals so there is no overspray

That $150-$200 would be for welding all 14 holes? If so I'm driving to queensland :( !

Well now i am grateful that when i put it on ages ago, it was done with silicon :P

That would've been HEAPS betta :D !

I like how Nissan thought...

Yeah just drill into the damn thing, it's gonna be covered up anyway with a massive ginormous wing,

oh and make sure you drill 7 holes into each side...

This sucker's gonna be heavy! :)

Alrite, I was able to talk the panelbeaters into a discount.

Should be complete very soon... weird feeling now that I've mostly done everything I wanted to.

Should only be a matter of time before my attention turns to the Z *here we go again* :sweat::teehee:

Hey mate i think the person who designed that original wing must have the sexiest car in the universe.

I trust you burnt all the remaining evidence of that wing..

I like the wingless look.. mainly cos of ur sweet ass rear bar. But with ur new wing it just says "dont f*#k with me im quick." I love it. now go clean it and have sex in it..

What type of rear bar is that exaclty?

Also do you kno if that new wing can replace the original wings that most of us have without stuffing around with covering up holes?

When i replaced my Nismo wing (trolley). The bolts on the OEM R34 GTR ones lined up perfectly.

and i sold my Nismo one for $200 XD! why somone bought it.... i dont know..

Looking at the one you've put on, it doesn't have the adjustable side pieces. They have aftermarket ones exactly like the OEM ones but just aren't lol.

Thanks man,

It's a genuine nismo rear bar, but you can probably buy a fibreglass copy looks absolutely mean when combined with the aero or "altia" bodykit.

The rear wing if you look closely covers up the old bolt holes, but uses the original holes to bolt on, no muss no fuss.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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 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.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      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.
