Hi guys,

i have a nissan skyline gts-t. This car is quite low and as a result i have damaged my fibre-glass bumper. There are 2 large cracks on it.

I would like to know where in SA i can get this repaired and if possible, who can come home and do this work for me. Any contacts would be appreciated!

Cheers!

sanjeet

Hey there,

I'm not sure what your willing to spend to fix your front bar, but I had a similar problem, my bar was buggered.

I took my Line to Impressive Paint and Panel in golden grove, and Darren and the guys there re fibreglassed the whole bar and strengthened it, then gave it a full respray, and it cost me $500.

My bar alone is worth $700 just to buy, so it was a good investment to get it fixed instead of a whole new bar + painting and fitting at a price of $1600 where I got it done last time.

Hope that helps.

Greg

      I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing

      I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.

      Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.

      Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
