The Rego is up on my newly acquired R32, and I went to take it for a pink slip, and the mechanic didn't want to pass it as the sills were squashed, a common problem I'm gathering from cruising the forums. He wasn't a dick about it though, and I'm thankful he just said he couldn't pass it and sent me on my way without writing it up and sending it through to the RTA. So I am doing some work on fixing that up, and am wondering, when I am done, does anyone have a place I should go to that is Penrith/Blacktown way that they recommend as being good with Skylines/imports ?

I'm not really looking for someone to pass it no questions asked, I think apart from the sills the car is fine, and if it's not I kind of want to know, more that I don't want to accidentally go to place that is going to be tough on it unnecessarily because it's an import.

Cheers guys.

THIS!

My car had very visible tyne marks underneath

Japan just doesn't give a shit how they handle these cars lol. I too was surprised to hear how they get handled lol. In relation to this thread, I think every skyline I've seen has has rooted sills. I really didn't think this would impact a pink slip. I know a few places around Guildford who will pass you. Pm me if needed.

normally it shouldn't unless there was a very deep & noticeable creasing along the rail where the jackpoints are

pretty easy to tell if it was due to a forklift as there will be symmetrical crease points on either side & front+back of the car

I didn't think it would, except for they were folded up along almost the length of both sides of the car. Thanks for all the suggestions guys, am getting the sills straightened back down, then looks like I have a bit to go on. Projects always crop up a few things that you aren't expecting, but it'll be worth it when it's done :)

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
