Who did your compliancing???

Mine is Sydney Compliance Centre and they have said nothing about a manual :D

In Canberra, an ENGLISH manual is required to pass rego :uh-huh:

I asked the guy about it and he said as long as it shows how to work the child anchorage points, that's all they really care about.

Mine is very brief (just a photocopied thing), and has nothing about the fuse boxes, sorry DREMEN :)

This is the owners handbook you'r refering to

Most compliancers will provide a very abreviated version which complies with the regulations but tells you nothing you want to know. jpnz sell a translation of the origional Jap one for about $60. As far as I know there is no English Workshop manual for the import Skylines though jpnz also sell an engine manual for the RB26DETT which covers several motors but not the RB25DET it costs about $150

Someone on these forums offered an English version of the workshop manual for about $180 (if you read this PM me I'm interested)

All new Skyline owners should spend some time digesting all the info readily available on the SDU site as well as Meggala's

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
