Hmmm but I havent really done much apart from try touch up paint, which didnt look good at all... The only other thing I have done is tried polish but that was just with an old t-shirt I am hoping a proper buffing job could make it look better.... obviously it wont be perfect but if I could just get it to be less noticeable that would be good.

Hmmmm I went to the panel shop .... The guy looked at it and said it would need to be resprayed.... The quote ..... $400 .... The want to basically rub the whole door back and respray the whole thing. Hmmm $400 is a bit excessive for about a 1cm scratch. Maybe I will just have to live with it Out of curiosity what would happen if you tried to buff it out but the scratch is too deep???? Would it make it look better/worse??? Is it worth trying. MrGTST

Hiya Again..... Well let us just say that the touch up paint didnt work.... It came out pretty bad so I very carefully scratched it off.... So I am back where I started .... I need a professional job. I will take it to my local Panel Beater ( I have used him once for my last car ) to get a quote but Adam 32 I am interested in finding out more from your friend??? I am a perfectionist and want to make sure a good job is done ( nothing is too good for my baby :uh-huh: ) and dont want to just randomly pick something out of the yellow pages Therefore as I said Adam 32 can ya help me out!!!! Thanks MrGTST

Hmmmm thanks for your opinions ..... I have gone and got some touch up paint .... I will give it a go tonight and see how it looks ( I will test it on some more discreet spots first though. ) I hope it comes out alright .... I was very proud of the cars conditions prior to this happening. MrGTST

Hmmmm thanks for that advice... I think that it has gone through the paint .... I will go get some paint mixed ( I am in Perth ) and be very carefull and see how we go ... luckily there a couple of out of the way spots that I can test first so I can see how it is going to go... Mr GTST

Hmmmm I took the car to the mechanic the other day to get my gearbox oil changed ...... and when I got it home I noticed what looks to be a rather nasty scratch in the passenger door I obviously cant prove he did it so I am asking is there any product that can help cover up my scratch? The skyline is black and the scratch has come out white!!!! It looks really bad ... Its only about 1 and a half cm's long but its the principle of the matter .... I spend over a month finding my line with a body in really good condition and the very first time I take it somewhere they bash the door ... probably on the hoist... I was thinking of getting a bit of paint mixed up to match and putting it on very carefully with a small brush... Comments???? Ideas???? Please help.... MrGTST

Hi Guys.... Yeah we didnt get a map and after the start of the freeway when the leaders took of into the distance ..... we were lost .... After the tunnel everyone seemed to be following us!!!! Unfortunately we led everyone to nowhere.... Ohh well it was good for a first SAU cruise ( for me personally ) ... So when is the next cruise ( in the dry of course ???? ) :confused: MrGTST

Thanks Adam 32 .... Gee my first cruise in the skyline and I have only had it a few weeks !!!! I am still relearning the experience of driving a manual too!!!! :confused: Well if all goes well I will see you guys friday night... * Runs outside to practise changing gears to avoid looking like the fool on friday *

Where can we get more details on the cruise.... I am interested ..... Although I have had a prod around SDU I cant find the details :confused: MrGTST

Hey thanks again!!! I will have to go and buy some axel stands, some good oil ( whatever the good oil is? ) and go get my jack! Brett

Thanks for that.... Another question.... where is the jack spot for the R33??? I ask because with all my bodykits I dont want to put pressure on something I shouldnt.... ( I had a commodore before and it was dead easy )..... I should also go back to the import dealer and ask for a jack as I dont think I got one with the car... P. S All you Perth guys should put out a message when you organise another cruise .... I would love to be part of a HUGE skyline cruise.... that would be fun .... and a great chance to learn some stuff Thanks Again Brett

Hiya Guys.... I basically have the same problem as Jay95R33 ... that is for the first couple of changes after you start the car going from first into second .... second gear grinds.... then it stops after a couple of gos.... So my question is ( and feel free to make fun of me as I have only had my 95 R33 GTST about two weeks ) Does the skyline have a dipstick for the gearbox ( manual ) ???? I had a look but couldnt find one??? Or is it self contained or something??? Do I just go straight for the dumping of the oil???? Help! :confused: Brett
