rb26stagea Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 sooooo do we need just one more person for this to go ahead? Pretty sure we're good to go with 4 people. Jap rails are getting sent down in the next couple of days, and ccubed are organising individual invoices. Darrinspencer will have more details shortly... Hanging out to have a complete car again!

No stress mate, we are always too busy Sorry to kill your possible sale After waiting 13 months to get these made, the quality was shit. They were suppose to take 6-8 weeks to get made! Have a look when this thread originally started!!! The guy was well capiable, recently making all the carbon work for Handbrake's mega R35 GTR build, but managed to totally give us a crap job and charge us for poor service. I have had to fully bog the entire length to get them flat Will be in primer either this weekend or next They are not good enough to just paint and fit.

too_much_boost Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Any of you guys tried to use the existing plates with some fibreglass mods to bolt them down and clean them up in the sections where the racks went through them? Ive got a spare pair of rails i'm thinking of trying this with. Should cost much (like $20 in fibreglass and resin). I'm just assuming there is a reason it hasn't been tried yet Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/280204-eoi-c34-stagea-roof-rail-replacement-panels/page/2/#findComment-6070300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilcrash Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 That's what I wanted to do but welding up the holes. I just couldn't find a spare set to buy locally.

darrinspencer Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Any of you guys tried to use the existing plates with some fibreglass mods to bolt them down and clean them up in the sections where the racks went through them? Ive got a spare pair of rails i'm thinking of trying this with. Should cost much (like $20 in fibreglass and resin). I'm just assuming there is a reason it hasn't been tried yet I did have a original plan of fully covering the entire roof strip in 1 or 2 layers of fibreglass, then bog and sand and paint. The problem with the roof strips they are covered in a rubber/plastic coat over s/steel metal. Too hard to remove the coating, plus the front end is approx 4-5cm long of solid plastic, not metal. Still worth a try. Pics of the fibreglass ones we bought This was last weekend. Now both sanded and getting undercoated this weekend Edited October 20, 2011 by darrinspencer Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/280204-eoi-c34-stagea-roof-rail-replacement-panels/page/2/#findComment-6071110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_much_boost Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'm thinking of using vinyl to cover them rather than painting them. Would be a great deal easier Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/280204-eoi-c34-stagea-roof-rail-replacement-panels/page/2/#findComment-6071122 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB BLUEY Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Does anyone have a picture of how the roof is bonded to the chassis? I'm having my Stag re-sprayed in a few months time & the paint shop says it's dinted to hell & may be better to replace entire roof. I would love to find a dual sunroof car & convert mine. 3 quotes I've had so far range from $6600 to $9000 for full job including fitting this kit (supplied by me) http://www.freeway-dolphin.co.jp/aeroform/stagea/nissan_stagea_c34-wh.htm Thanks.
