Very nice ride! The colour is absolutely amazing.

Would I be right in saying that those photos were taken at Kingsway? If so, maybe my r32 will be rolling near there soon, I only live 2 mins away ;)

Yeah my mate owns the ultra tune there, so i was down getting plugs + oil changed.

The car actually looked a bit better before, then it does in those pics. Before compliance it had spotties on the front and clear indicators instead of orange.

I have to get all the dark tint on the back removed, and also jack up the suspension for the pits.

And they took my beloved xenon lights and put dirty halogens in :crazy:

Thought I recognized the doctors surgery.

I've got a 92 Soarer about to go through SEVS, should be a fun experience based upon what everyone else has said.

Did you get to keep all the goodies they took off?

Yeah kept everything.

Hippy its a 2000 GT-T manual coupe. Cost about $18k FOB and no I didnt use an import broker.

Very nice indeed. As you can see by my Avatar, I have a 2001 R34GTX-T. Would be interested in knowing if your turbo has the metal/metal wheel inside instead of the standard metal/ceramic??

Yeah kept everything.

May want to double check if it is tint or the factory UV glass. The factory UV glass is very very dark but is not tinted. I thought I would have rego problems with it but as its not tinted and couldn't be removed they had no choice but to pass it.

I just checked and it says its UV cut glass, does that mean its not tinted? very cool if i can leave it... the back window looks awesome!

If it says its UV glass then it is the actual glass that is dark, there is no tint at all that can be removed. :)

They put a note on my rego inspection stating that it is beyond legal darkness but not much can be done because the rear windscreen contains the antenna so it is not likely that they will make you replace it.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
