No i didnt get the paperwork from Japan, i know when the car was imported and by who it was brought in in 2009 buy autostyle performance in sydney, bought buy a guy in his 20s from QLD then sold to the guy in TAS in the space of 6 months of it getting into AUS. Tried to contact auto style about it, apparently they changed owners so they didnt have the details from the cars previously brought in.

Im not to fussed buy it, i had a limited amout of time to find one as i needed a car since i sold my last one, it passed all the mechanical checkes and a miss aligned panel does not rly fase me that much i can just take it to one of the shops in syd and have them take it off and align it properly. and for the price i paid im happy with it.

Yeah, it wouldn't be anything major to worry about, only a minor issue. Plenty of cars come over from Japan with a lot more than just one misaligned panel..

A panel shop would be able to align it properly....if you decide to go through with it I can recommend you a panel shop that I can vouch for and know does great quality work (and won't rip you off).

+1, this forum rly needs a dam like button

And a dislike button!

I cant remember which forum had that but it failed epically lol Might have been hardtuned back in the day.....

If they had a dislike button Benjis accident damage speel would probably crash the server with dislikes............. Maybe add a STFU button to save us typing so much?

If its the one with the stud and you have no other tools try getting the socket on the nut with no extension or ratchet and go from there..............

Yea got some spanners, but none the right size unfortunately! And yea tried without the extension, couldn't get enough force onit to budge it. Jarrads bringing me some tools haha

Anyway, plenty of cars come over from Japan with a lot more than just one misaligned panel.

Yeh once i get the engine all sorted and a set of rims, the current rims are apparently GTR NUR spec NT03-M in white and when i had the rear tyres changed found out 1 rim was buckled -_- just an excuse for me to get a set of TE37's or GT-C after that if all is well with her then ill see about the panel.

Cant repair the rim?

[GTR-34A]

Haha he's not staying to help... But I'm far worse than he is haha

[T4NK]

well i dont have any other rim to put on the car when it gets fixed, and long story short, needs more poke for street cred + track set with slicks.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Oh god! haha........... Post on here or call me if you have any dramas........... Im here until 5, IF you are stuck just let me know and ill head over after work and give you a hand

[BakemonoRicer]

I'm not very happy with the paint on my car...it's all original but it's in pretty meh condition.

Also I've noticed a small crease just about the wheel arch which is causing a sort of swirl effect....sooo

In all honesty once I get the money I'd like a full respray...

Just need to get the VIN number of a MNPIII R34 GTR and buy the paint from Nissan....might have to bribe someone who owns a MNPIII R34 (you need to own a MNPIII R34 GTR to be able to buy the paint from Nissan)...

ORRR, i wouldnt mind this blue colour

[GTR-34A]

Lol...a man can have dreams!

33 days till I get my full licence.

Also got the shits with uni assignments, as some lecturers use the "problem based learning" style of the course as an excuse to provide these vague, indirect answers to questions.

Contract Admin Assignment 1 + 2 = 32,000 words total (good lecturer who is very helpful, but I am a wizard at this subject). COMPLETE

Fire Safety = Assign 1 7500 words + X (2nd assignment Im having trouble with) + Assign 3 2000 words = 9500 words + X

Infrastructure Development = done 2 quizzes (structural eng + geotech), but havent started the infrastructure report which I expect to be 20,000 words. But lecturer refuses to help anyone with the vague assignment brief which can be interpreted many ways.

MacroEconomics = Elective subject which I am pwning.

Workload is absolutely ridiculous and I basically have no social life or Vitamin D atm.

Havent seen sunlight in days.

Fire is due oct.25th and Infrastructure is due nov.2nd

Yeh i think mine may have been in a prang in japan b4 it was brought over, front drivers fender seems a little bit off, i didnt notice it when i went to inspect/pick it up from TAS, emotions got the better of me i was awed by the presence of a GTR i was about to buy . Passed mechanical inspection and turbos where checked for freeplay so all was good on that end.

I done the exact same thing. I did look at another 2 shitter GTR's before i bought mine though just to make sure. A small prang is nothing to worry about as long as there's no chaisis damage.

Yesturday i found out mine is a cold weather spec r34 gtr - rare packge, but means it definatly spent some time on salted roads.

Yeah, the panel gaps for R34's are usually spot on and to within a pooftenth of a millimetre.

Unequal panel gaps usually does indicate there is some underlying accident damage. Check the bolts of the panel and if they have been repainted then it means the panel has been taken off before.

r34's are not spot on....look where the rear lights meet the boot. Lexus has good panel gaps...nissans not so much

I'm not very happy with the paint on my car...it's all original but it's in pretty meh condition.

Plenty of MP3 vins in the nissan fast section... just requires a bit of searching
