When you say reconditioned would that be rebuilt or just freshened up because $110 is hell cheap I got quoted $150 for rebuilding.

Now if only anyone knew where to get the ac compressor rebuilt I'd be set.

I was quoted $280 to $380 for full rebuild (bearings (which are noisy on mine), rewind, regulator, brushes). They said the regulator part was $120 on its own.... I know with some of the bosch alterators the regulator is mounted externally and contains the diode pack and brushes - no idea if the nissan ones are integrated like that since they're internal, but for you guys getting $110-150 quotes i'd like to know what that covers.

WRT to air con rebuild, there's no rebuild kits left for R32 GTR so the only choice is new from Nissan. I dont know if 33 GTST is in the same boat but there was a group buy for re-gas a while ago - Frosty Auto Air, Bass Hill, 0418 608 680 - he rebuilds and he was the one that told me the 32 rebuild kits are all gone. He does good work.

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
