So, long story short - car has been scratched because of a garage issue. Wont go into it as im still upset..

anyway, the paint is gone, and the scratch is too long and wide for that stupid pen. Will have to get it fixed eventually, but is there any stuff i can buy like those magic pens except easier to apply with a paint brush? Will need to protect it from rust.

They're double sided pens with my exact paint color code. so for stone chips etc you just apply with the pen and on the other side is a clear coating to seal it. Its only good for little chips we all get on our front bumper really.

Ogz, im in brisbane but looked up the touchupguys here and they seem legit. Will take before and after pics for anyone whose interested in brisbane.

there is now new restrictions in terms of shipping this from overseas.. Due to its liquid substance majority of the dealers there do not choose to sell this to overseas customers, however you can always try. I tried before and failed, so i just went to local nissan dealer parts and got mine for $15.00.

went to nissan today they have it, its a nail polish sorta thing and you apparantly apply it, the guy there didnt know anything about it, so im wondering do you need to prep the car or do anything before applying it? also does it blend with the colour and surrounding or would it stick out like a sore thumb?

Ive used the same from g35parts, IMHO they are ok for very small areas, anything other than that you`re better off getting it done either at a bodyshop (dependant on extent of damage) or by some touch up franchise (do your research first as Ive seen some appalling work)

My bodyshop does stuff like full bumper respray etc and I use chipsaway (local franchise) for any light scratching/stone chips elsewhere.

Good luck in getting your 350 sorted

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
