As the topic states, I know quite a few of you would understand the frustration in trying to maintain one.

I am wanting to get just the front lip spray painted and properly restored (there are some small surface cracks - nothing major).

Does anyone know a decent panel beater around the SE suburbs who can do it? One place quoted my $750 (but that was including my front bumper as well).

What's the most anyone has spent on getting it sorted?

Try DT Panels in Springvale and ask for Vu, can vouch for their quality of work.

My experience wasn't so good (went once, and went back again to have it fixed). I won't go back because the 2nd repair wasn't very good either.

ditto, I had a kit and spoiler put on and spoiler was on crooked. So had to take it off and do it properly myself. Hows the saying go? if you want it done right do it yourself?

IMHO. Because its black and just a front lip and not a major panel, I would do a DIY job. Buy quality spary paints. Sand back slightly, 2x coats of primer, 3x coats of black. Do it all in a garage, you would be laughing. Most it will cost you will be around $50.00 and a couple of hours across two afternoons. Especially since it's a part that is "sacrificial", getting it done professionally is a waste.

I bought a carbon front from PSI parts, looks the business and seems to be a lot more rigid than the standard lip. cost me around 500 and I fitted it myself.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
