Could just add material, grind down and use something like this.

Lol... Or just drill out, reweld on another firewall, maybe from another GT-R or a GTS-4, Gracer vibes lolololol.

This happens more than people know, there's lots of money to be made rebirthing cars

Lots of rusted hulk or crashed "collectable" cars are "refreshed" this way

Meh, once you swap all the JDM parts onto a ADM shell you wouldn't really notice

Whilst there was a few things that the ADM required for compliance here, it's all bolt on stuff really isn't it

The only tricky work would be the cut and shut on the firewall where the stamps are

The rest is basic nut, bolt, respray if you use a donor for the body numbers, block and other parts

People remove sunroofs and manage to make it look like it was never there, welding up a small hole in the roof is a simple job

The illegal rebirthing and stolen car parts industry is a real thing, from full body swaps to just swapping interiors, the other parts and panels are then sold on, just look at the steady supply of parts in the classifieds, and the "wanted to buy whole car" adds from some wreckers where they advertise they will buy wrecked or damaged high end cars

Hell, when I was thinking about getting a new Coulson style interior for the SS I replied to add in the classifieds for a full interior, I turned up at a joint in the industrial area of Ingleburn, it was full of stripped and chopped up JDM and Commodores, the shady looking characters were more interested in what was under the bonnet of my car and where I lived than actually selling me the "full Coulson" interior that was in their warehouse area that was full of stripped car parts, my spider senses tingled and I got hell out of there

High end, high demand cars and parts shopping lists for crime is a real thing, it a profitable business, these thieves aren't stealing cars for joy rides

Fun fact about some stolen cars: Western Sydney crime gangs, and other hard core crime areas, are holding stolen "kill cars" that they use when the shoot each other up, and every second top tier gang member has some form of 1000hp mint nut and bolt "resto" classic, JDM, ADM or Euro thing parked up

Wanna know one of the huge dollar stolen parts rings running around at the moment?

LDV vehicles! So hard to get parts for an LDV the crooks have figured it out, steal them, strip them, and are making bank, as lots of places now have LDVs and they want them fixed!

Hopefully it's just one of the early nails in the coffin of those horrendous shitboxen.

I was hoping Australians utter hatred for cheap Chinese shit would do it.

 

But our love for outright cheap shit keeps winning.

 

But yes, them, MGs etc, they're so woefully built, with such low quality stuff on them. Even things like how the crash bars are welded in isn't right. Like Blind Freddy would lay a better, more accurate weld!

 

But people are lapping that shit up. :(

 

It really shows, you truly can produce utter shit, and as long as it kind of performs the functions, people will buy it!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
