Completed how?

 

I considered it. However, if you look at the lines of the DE hood, you will see that they match up exactly with the front center part of the Nismo bumper.

 

did it crack around the filler where the emblem should be?

or whats going on there?

 

This is kind of the like "Red Dot" episode of Seinfeld where George bought a really expensive cashmere sweater with a deep discount for Elaine because the sweater had a red dot on it and he was hoping she wouldn't notice. I was hoping no one would see it but.....yes, the filler seems to have cracked even though I bought it at a body shop and it is meant for filling bumpers. When I respray the car, Ill figure out what to do about it.

 

You can not fill a depression that deep with bondo, it will always crack or fall off. It needs to be filled with poly filler and then skinned with bondo - preferably less than 1/8" thick.

 

...

 

I used proper bumper filler from a professional Body Shop Supply Store.

Driver's side window doesnt roll up or down any more.....grrr

 

Suck! I'm sure you've seen this DIY.

Hopefully it's not too much of a PITA for you.

 

I had to replace both window motors, drivers side twice. That's just the car man.

 

I will have to pull the door cards and make sure power is getting to the motor. How do these motors fail...dirt? Is the consensus among everyone to just replace the motor and not try to clean it?

 

Cleaning is a temp fix

 

It has a few things here and there, but this is the best looking roadster I have ever seen

 

Yeah if the motor is not working at best cleaning will help it work for a bit longer. Every window motor I've seen get cleaned works for anywhere between not at all, a few minutes and a day or two. Not really worth the hastle of taking it all apart only to have to go back and do it again.

 

Very Nice Roadster! I had considered a Nismo kit for mine but the cost was too much at the time. I went with carbon fibre C-West and Siebon body parts. Also, ProjectX upgraded the engine with a Vortech Supercharger.

Mine's for sale.

 

Francee and Grey: Thank you kindly. Its been quite a bit of work.

UPDATE: I went away for 9 days and, strangely, the window now works. Maybe the Nissan elves came in the middle of the night and fixed it?

 

UPDATE: The window stopped working again but I have the strangest temporary fix. I find that if I open the door, press the window button and close the door while the window button is pressed, the window starts working again. Obviously I need to open the door up and make a fix, but it kinda works for now.

I have a list of things that need attending to:
1. The rear Nismo bumper pulls away from the car on the right side. The attachment hole on the bumper is broken. Im thinking of epoxying a washer on the underside.
2. Fix or replace the drivers window regulator.
3. Brakes are shimmying. Need to machine or replace front rotors.
4. The upper part of the driver seat does not heat when heater is turned on. Most likely a broken wire in the heating pad.
5. I have some curb rash on my beautiful right rear Nismo wheel...I guess Ill need to get some paint.
6. My gas gauge is acting up again even though I cleaned the sending units....ugh

 

Window issue: Its strange but if I dont roll the window all the way up, it operates normally. If I leave it up all the way, then it works intermittently....weird.

 

I got a tip from AffyliatedZ regarding having my GTR shift **** fit better. I never liked the fact that the shift **** was kind of Wiggly on the shifter shaft. The tip was to get a pencil grip cushion and put it on the **** about three-quarters of the way in and then hit the **** on to the shaft. I ordered some cushions and they should be here in a couple of days so I will keep you all posted and thank you again to Affyliated Z. Hopefully it works out good for me as it did for you.

 

I got the pencil cushions yesterday and yanked my GTR **** off to fiddle with it. After a bit of fiddling, I got the cushion to work and the shift **** is solid. I do have to push down a bit when shifting into park but it feels much better. Thanks AffyliatedZ!!
