Insurance?

Only third party I'm afraid. Just Jpa didn't give me the option of paying the 3 grand full comp off on a monthly basis, so paid the $450-ish third party all in one go.

look into buying a new bonnet first as it may well turn out a bunch cheaper than painting it

Really? I've never seen anyone selling a pearl black bonnet though...

dont bother mate...if you are worried about those stone chips just touch them up with a black pen or even some nail polish.....we do it when you come back maybe..

i think it may of had black wax in them...you get it at supercheap....turtle wax comes in a range of colours...

its not worth respraying or buying a new one..save cash for better things in life....;)

Someone keyed my bonnet while the car was sitting just in my sister's driveway tonight. Probably some drunk lowlifes at the party next door. On the upside, now I have more motivation to fix the paint chips in the bonnet. :(

oh..just saw this.....motherf**kers.. \

you're bringing it around in a week or 2 anyway yeah, I have some paint left, might be enough to patch it up..wont be enough to respray the whole bonnet though but I can do that if you want.....I dare say it will be cheaper than buying new bonnet and new paint will look better than a second hand bonnet anyway ;)

#@ARTZ Message me how much you think it will cost, I have crappy pics I can send you, but the scratches cover almost the same area the paint chips do; that is, they're in the same place, pretty much.

pix me...will be about same price as a cheap second hand bonnet....which would only have stone chips in it anyway...plus guarenteed no swirls with new paint ;)

Hopefully we have enough paint left to fix it so don't have to buy more..

Tis why you don't have yourself as listed driver, then pay excess for unlisted driver which is usually less anyhow. It was for the 4 door. RS will probably be insured just under my name though cus even full comp is still <1k. Dem aus del feels.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
