Hey guys, i'm trying to sell my car but because of the crack in the front bar and some scrapes there its making the car look like its in poor condition and is hard to sell. Is it worth fixing, or should I get a new front bar? Or should I try a dodgey and get some fibre glass kit and patch it myself?

If anyone recommends a place to fix this for a fair price then let me know.

Thanks

i wouldnt bother getting that fixed mate,

cost you an arm and a leg to get that fixed up properly,

best thing to do would be to go to autobarn grab yourself a fibreglass repair kit, buy the closest matching touchup paint you can find and spend a couple of hours yourself fixing it. It may not look as good as a professional job but itll look a damn sight better and youll have a spare $400~ in your pocket.

I dont see your car in the for sale section but was going to say, if it is priced accordingly, you shouldnt have a problem or do as Nav2K is saying and get a written quote to get the work done either at your expense or theirs with the price changing accordingly.

well just before I put my last car up for sale some someone managed to scrape the right hand door (the car had a recent respray so paint was immaculate).

I just told the guy who came to buy it "mate its a 10 year old second hand car and i'm not going to use one scraped door as a bargaining tool to get the price down".

The rest of the car was immaculate inside/out. If someone is happy with the condition of the rest of the vehicle and knows that they are actually doing - they will buy it!

ok thanks guys. i think i'll try patch it up myself. i haven't posted the car in the for sale section as i figured just about everyone on the forums has a skyline  

But I will take some pics and put it in for pretty cheap maybe 10-11k.

_turtle_ why so cheap, is it a GTS and in poor condition? Not that I am complaining but it seems very cheap for a 33.

Its really not that bad, but the first thing which ppl see is the front. I just paid 12months rego on it so I want to get rid of it quick instead of the car just sitting in my driveway. Oh, and i've seen them go in the trading post for around that price too.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
