The Rego is up on my newly acquired R32, and I went to take it for a pink slip, and the mechanic didn't want to pass it as the sills were squashed, a common problem I'm gathering from cruising the forums. He wasn't a dick about it though, and I'm thankful he just said he couldn't pass it and sent me on my way without writing it up and sending it through to the RTA. So I am doing some work on fixing that up, and am wondering, when I am done, does anyone have a place I should go to that is Penrith/Blacktown way that they recommend as being good with Skylines/imports ?

I'm not really looking for someone to pass it no questions asked, I think apart from the sills the car is fine, and if it's not I kind of want to know, more that I don't want to accidentally go to place that is going to be tough on it unnecessarily because it's an import.

Cheers guys.

THIS!

My car had very visible tyne marks underneath

Japan just doesn't give a shit how they handle these cars lol. I too was surprised to hear how they get handled lol. In relation to this thread, I think every skyline I've seen has has rooted sills. I really didn't think this would impact a pink slip. I know a few places around Guildford who will pass you. Pm me if needed.

normally it shouldn't unless there was a very deep & noticeable creasing along the rail where the jackpoints are

pretty easy to tell if it was due to a forklift as there will be symmetrical crease points on either side & front+back of the car

I didn't think it would, except for they were folded up along almost the length of both sides of the car. Thanks for all the suggestions guys, am getting the sills straightened back down, then looks like I have a bit to go on. Projects always crop up a few things that you aren't expecting, but it'll be worth it when it's done :)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!!

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.

      I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
