How much would you guys expect to get the rear bar and light resprayed? and who would you guys go to? Oh and I'm also going to need to get the frame beat out a little bit cause as you may have noticed it's been pushed in, the damage doesn't look that bad but I dont want to mess with the frame. I will probably disassemble the light housing and do it myself though I noticed that it seemed like covering just screws on so it shouldn't be hard to sand down and spray over buy I don't have the equipment of the facilities to respray an entire bar!

EDIT: Oh and does anyone know what that black gooey sealant is around the light housing? Noticed it when taking it off want to get more so I can apply it when I put it back on....seems important

You can get Sikaflex from Autobarn (or similiar) and you need a caulking gun which they'll also have

Tubes are about $20? from memory

Be very careful not to get it all over the place or you'll be forever trying to clean it off

A "mate" of mine went to a "club" with some of that stuff and is still cleaning it out of his ass crack... :P

Thanks Kaz, it's in DT's hands now hopefully they will do a good job....their sign does say "All work guaranteed" and in Chinese right next to it: "Just Kidding" hahhaha I wish I could read Chinese

I got hit at mcdonalds car park -___-

didnt notice it until i got home

The white paint is from the other car, i hope my black paint is still under it...so all that would need is a cut/polish + pop out the dent?

Personally I would think there is a slight chance that would pop out although, I find if it's not a perfect "punch in" it wont "punch out" and I think it's right where the metal forms the wheel arch it might not pop out but I'm no where close to a pro so yea wait to see one of the more experienced members think, If it was mine I would probably try to get as much of the dent out as I could, sand it smooth, stop by the shop get some spot filler mixed with fiberglass, can of color, and clear coat. Thats been working for me and my minor dints and scratches but like I said I'm far from an expert

Unfortunately because it involves a crease in the panel that will never pop out properly.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
