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...

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"

Mobile: 0432-323-204

Cheers,

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
