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 :)

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

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

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
