those are your B pillers and yeah there are a few things you can do but sorry to say none of them involve a body shop and the reason is because its just way too easy to just do your self :-)

anyway the things you can do are

1) buy the nismo b pillar garnish. though im not sure if they do 4 door. or you can look for another brand of b pillar garnishes on ebay

2) buy some 3m Di-Noc which is like a carbon look textured vinyl that you can put on yourself. (its pretty easy) you can either google for it or you can buy some from either charles on this forum (melbourne) or myself (sydney)

3) if your in sydney i can supply and install for you just PM me.

if you buy yourself and need help i can give you some instructions

They're just stickers. It was a dealer-option for the R34 sedans - by this age they've almost all perished or become damaged.

You basically have a few options:

a) Remove the stickers (and try not to damage the paint underneath in the process)

b) Remove the stickers and re-apply some other sort of garnish - most people use 3M DI-NOC CF-look finish

c) Remove the stickers and try and source some of the after-market carbon-look coverings which double-side on (I've only seen these sold once or twice in the 4-5 years of R34 sedan ownership - pretty rare).

Personally I went with option (b) on my R34 sedan.

Be aware that the pillar-garnish on sedans and coupes is quite different. The nismo carbon garnish was only ever made/sold for the coupes.

Refer to the following threads for further information:

I've actually got a set of real carbon fibre set for sale. They just stick right on, with perfect fitment.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
