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 :woot:

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 :yes: after that if all is well with her then ill see about the panel.

Cant repair the rim?

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

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 :)

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

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.

Oh you one of these "Poke" people eh? You and Chookie will got on well :no:

I am form over function, Chookie is....................................... Well a clown :laugh:

haha all good though, ill take the piss outta ya for BOV's etc but everyone has their own taste, In this Newy/Coast section we all get along well (Benji drives us mad but what do ya do).............

Benji you cant afford to do anything on your car for now while you are studying so PLEASE dont put up all your build crap in here as we know its not going to happen, put it in your epic build thread and we will come look!

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 :)

Appreciate it mate, and will do. Should be right, seems I only need to remove that one other bolt, then move the bracket and unscrew. Should be able to tackle it haha...

All good, just make sure you post the pic as i wanna seeeeeeeeeeeee :woot:

Yea will do mate, I was hoping to get a pic off to the guys at JEM before 5..... It's looking doubtful now though

Benji you cant afford to do anything on your car for now while you are studying so PLEASE dont put up all your build crap in here as we know its not going to happen, put it in your epic build thread and we will come look!

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

Yea will do mate, I was hoping to get a pic off to the guys at JEM before 5..... It's looking doubtful now though

They are there to 5.30 a lot i think man! So keep at it ;)

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.

:domokun:

:domokun:

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.

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

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

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
