Hey guys, i'm trying to sell my car but because of the crack in the front bar and some scrapes there its making the car look like its in poor condition and is hard to sell. Is it worth fixing, or should I get a new front bar? Or should I try a dodgey and get some fibre glass kit and patch it myself?

If anyone recommends a place to fix this for a fair price then let me know.

Thanks

i wouldnt bother getting that fixed mate,

cost you an arm and a leg to get that fixed up properly,

best thing to do would be to go to autobarn grab yourself a fibreglass repair kit, buy the closest matching touchup paint you can find and spend a couple of hours yourself fixing it. It may not look as good as a professional job but itll look a damn sight better and youll have a spare $400~ in your pocket.

I dont see your car in the for sale section but was going to say, if it is priced accordingly, you shouldnt have a problem or do as Nav2K is saying and get a written quote to get the work done either at your expense or theirs with the price changing accordingly.

well just before I put my last car up for sale some someone managed to scrape the right hand door (the car had a recent respray so paint was immaculate).

I just told the guy who came to buy it "mate its a 10 year old second hand car and i'm not going to use one scraped door as a bargaining tool to get the price down".

The rest of the car was immaculate inside/out. If someone is happy with the condition of the rest of the vehicle and knows that they are actually doing - they will buy it!

ok thanks guys. i think i'll try patch it up myself. i haven't posted the car in the for sale section as i figured just about everyone on the forums has a skyline  

But I will take some pics and put it in for pretty cheap maybe 10-11k.

_turtle_ why so cheap, is it a GTS and in poor condition? Not that I am complaining but it seems very cheap for a 33.

Its really not that bad, but the first thing which ppl see is the front. I just paid 12months rego on it so I want to get rid of it quick instead of the car just sitting in my driveway. Oh, and i've seen them go in the trading post for around that price too.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
