Very nice shade, congrats. I really like the way you have kept the mods clean, as i too hate "fully sic" mods. Where did you get the paint done if you dont mind me asking?

It was done at S&K panels in campbellfield. and was VERY cheap. $1750 and that was using Sikkens paint.

this included repairing 2 major dints and dozens of pin dents. the quality of the paint is fantastic but there were some things i was not happy with,

1. they put my door lock actuator rods in backwards so when the window went up or down it fouled on the rod and went CLUNK...

2. they left the windows of the car down during the whole process and the car was FILTHY inside when i got it back...

3. one of my door trims was marked...

but i the paint is fantastic. just their assembly was a bit rough. cant complain for that price seeming as the paint alone was over $600 and it only took 3 weeks from drop off to pickup.

Thanks for the info and the heads up. That sounds really cheap, even including the incidentals you mentioned ! I might check them out.

well this has all gone to s**t, the car turned out not being able to import so i',m back to looking, pretty sure i found one thats white so i wont be changing the colour for now.

What stopped it from being imported??

Damage/rust or something else??

it was to do with the date it was made, goes by chasis numbers or something as well, apprently out by 2 numbers or something

So you tried to bring in a gtr that was in the exclusion dates/chassis number.

Thats sux

pretty much the guy in japan told the guy i'm going through it was all good but yer it was 2 numbers off if it was bulit a few hours later i would have it by now, Me and the guy im going through arent out of pocket any money so i guess i'll just have to wait again
