if you can i'd be getting them to take that freont quarter panel off to see exactly how much damage is on that A pillar, if visable sign of dent/ movement along that line, should be ok, looks like something went over the bonnet, or car went under something!!

I'd be checking the struts with a level and tape measure to see if its been pushed down at all!!!

good luck with it though

taken from their site:

"In order to import the vehicle to the US legally it must be imported though Motorex,Inc. .The cost for us to legalize a car for you varies from $16,000 - $25,000 depending on the year of the vehicle. This does not include shipping , bonds ,tarriffs , custom brokerage fee , and associated shipping fees._

_The additional cost varies as the bond cost (450% of the value of the vehicle) , and tarriff cost(2.5% of the value of the vehicle) varies with the value of the vehicle , also shipping can be roll on/roll off or container. Expect the other costs to be $4000 - $5000 ."

haha yeah i know... the guy that im going to for the car imports cars from Japan as "parts" cars he pulls the engine in japan and reinstalls them over here in the USA, i havent recived a email from motorex yet... i also emailed the guy with the GTR to maybe take off the front fender to see that pillar, he has not replied either... BAH im getting kinda irratated lol. how much does it cost for a 1994 GTR over in the "down under" ? maybe i could convince him to look for one over there thats not in bad condition. he also brings really nice perfect cars over but he said that the tarrif's have gottin really high over the last year so he is going to wait untill they get low again. well thanks for all the feedback guys its really helpfull :(

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
