Buy new shell, strip it down bare, fix any issues then reshell into shiny new freshness without having to take car off road in the meantime ;)

also good idea.

Put it in the ceiling, problem solved.

actually I have thought of a solution

I could garage my GTR in a safe place to accommodate another shell

But we will see. I will try and get some quotes from a smash repairer first as the parts are fairly cheap but as usual the labour in this instance is gonna be inzane

Get a hoist and throw one on it. Drive the other under it. Double your garage space

Is the said safe place located at my house?

that second photo is on the same side as the first (the RHS).

I just happened to notice it as I temporarily fixed the door hinge cracks with a backing plate.

Probably about right Shivam. The whole rear right quarter panel would need to be cut out and then new sills would be put on as well and then re-stitched and repainted.

There is an option for me to buy a bare shell with the rear quarter in good nick but am weighing up all possible options for now.

I really need to attend to the minor rust in my shell before this shiz happens.

Unfortunately Ants you live at the gold coast and it really doesn't help the situation.

I would honestly still fix your Shell. I would hate for you to get another one and find something seriously wrong with that. :unsure:

Given the age of the cars mate its only normal you will find such issues.

Some are worst than others. In my case shes really bad.

The problem I have is that my car has had a hard life in Japan and it is evident that she has been in a bad accident.

Its was repaired but very poorly (in Japan) and ever since I've owned the car I have been struggling with it chassis speaking.

It was only a matter of time before nature eats away at it.

Until I have considered all my options I am going to empty all the E85 full it up with 98 and put the covers on.

the only way to reshell a future classic mate, is to transfer.

then strip original shell to bare metal, have it professionally done strengthen etc etc etc etc and put back.

very costly but very worth it.

If I win the lotto I would probably do this.

But I have the patience and will wait until A. I have enough money to source another shell, or B. have enough money to repair it.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
