Is it just me that finds going out finding buying parts really frustrating. Either you get a smart arse red neck with attitude who thinks hes like gods gift to imports, or (dont mean to sound rude) someone who cant even speak english trying to sell you shit they dont even stock !!!!!!! arrrrrrrrrrrrhh, or give you a date for something to arrive that must circle the world like 10 times to get here its so long

How ****ing hard is it to have in stock a aftermarket front bar to like just have a look at. The whole industry is screwed like trying to sell a pair of standard series one indicators for $250 wot are like bloody cherry flavoured

I know this might start a few coments but F&^%*& me !!!!

I've encountered the same problems myself.

My advice is to ring your local Nissan dealer - parts are either in stock or take a week to arrive, and the prices of some bits are ridiculously cheep (whilst others are ridiculously expensive), so its often worth a call first.

Skippy, I have complete S1 front bar with indicators if you want it. Pic attached when it was on car. No bumper support though.

I have two front indicators [image] and a front bar support (cut to fit a FMIC) for sale.

I do not know what this is all worth, however I have been offered $100.00 for one single front indicator and I was set to sell the support for $250.00, however the buyer realised my S1 bar would not suit his S2.

How does $150.00 for the indicators and $200.00 for the bumper support or $300.00 for the lot sound? Or is that still too expensive for you?

I'm not far from Glenelg, so you will not have to worry about freight costs, etc.

I also have a bonnet, catch can, stock intercooler, orange side indicators and a mystery boss kit for sale.

Edit: I agree that Nissan can be ridiculously expensive with some parts -- like $500.00 for side mirrors. :whatsthat

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
