I have seen it before on cars that were not inspected properly and it happened once on Freo docks.

We got a panel shop to un-pick the origional rail and a new one was bought off Graham at www.japanparts.com as using a second hand one is a lot of work.

It wasnt that bad just time consuming,

I have a similiar ding in the chassis rail. I would say mines a little worse.

I was quoted $300 to get it fixed.

Look in the yellow pages for chassis repair.

<clicky>

Be sure to ring many ppls and find some one that 'likes' the jap imports. I came across a lot of negative feedback.

Comments like, they should all be written off, they are dangerous tin cans etc. If you hear anything like that don't bite, simply hang up. :)

buy the rail section from nissan direct i think there about $200 from memory unspot it and weld the new one on.....no big deal...i have done heaps of them.....secondly....WTF is a "rocker panel" Underneath vehicles there is 2 sill panels,floor pan and chassis rails....thats all to my knowledge :)

I would have that repaired in the near future.

That's an important part of the chassis, it would be a concern when it comes to a roadworthy check too.

As mentioned before It would take a while to fix that, carefully seperating the rail from the spot welds and welding another rail in it's place.

It's definitely worth fixing if you intend to keep it, plus it's a GTR!

The rails having a little ding in them is nothing to worry about.

I had mine checked and was told the chassis is a mono-chassis therefor its only cosmetic. Cutting holes in your rear parcel shelf would affect the chassis integrity more so. :)

I think asked the bloke about Motor reg, the chassis specialist said they don't really know what they are talking about as there is no way a ding in a chassis rail will affect the chassis integrity in a MONO-Chassis vehicle.

But at the end of the day Motor reg will not pass the car with a dinged chassis rail. :D

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
