The best bet I would think would be to

-Remove interior roof trim

-Inspect if the roof is able to be beaten out

-If not beaten out, bog fill and sand down, respray

Since when can you buy replacement roofs? Arnt they part of the fixed chassis? With the nissan part, would you cut and weld on the new roof, sand then paint?

Noske, what state do you and your Stagea live in?

I know a Sydney-based dent-puller who might be up to the task. He has a good reputation and went to Europe (mostly Germany, IIRC) a few years ago when they had massive storms, and did work for the Mercedes-Benz factory storage yards.

Hi again and thanx for the input

I am on the Gold Coast

I went to heaps and heaps of dent removal guys and heaps of pannel beaters and all the same story too many dints on a big surface cant fix.

The best price i got so far is $800 to fit and paint if i got a new roof

BUT Nissan is taking their time to get back to me but i dnt think e new roof should be more than a $1000 but its just getting it thats the problem

ALEXCIM - Its not a replacement roof its just the skin on the top that comes off and you weld a new skin on.

You do make a good point with the sand and paint but the boging how long would that last with the hot and cold i think it would crack you?

GOLDZILLA - Thanx its worth a try i ll be in Sydney in about a month or so whats the guys name and ph no please?

TERMINAL - Thanx a lot

Noske, I am in the process of getting the guy's details for you.

Sorry about the delay, waiting on his details from someone else, and we haven't had a chance to speak in the past few days...

  • 2 weeks later...

Sorry for the delay Noske, the guy's name is Todd, and his business is "The Dent Magician."

He's based in Sydney, but you can still give him a call and see if he may be able to recommend someone - unless of course you do end up coming to Sydney as you mentioned...

So the details are:

Todd - "The Dent Magician"

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
