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"

Mobile: 0432-323-204

Cheers,

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
