Afternoon everyone..

I'm wanting to get some of the rock chips and smallish dents out of my car and was wondering if people could recommend any detailers in the Sydney area - and also a rough guide on pricing..

I've done a search - didn't turn up too much..

Anyways - i've also got a couple of scratchs - largest being about 2cm's long that has a tiny bit of rust as it's down to the metal and was done by the previous owner..

Also scratches on my front bar, side skirts, and rear bar from previous owner..

I'm guessing a detailer should be able to fix those up - yes? also can the pop small dents out? i've got one that is just pushed in - not a creased scratch - just one that will pop out..

Any help would be great - prices also - I have no idea and haven't had a chance to get a quote..

Cheers

i wouldn't be so sure that small dents will just pop out. but regarless of that the scratches that have gone through to the metal (hence the rust) will need to be painted. i would take it to a panel beater and get them to have a look at it.

I am in the same position you are! My car came with a few scratches that need attention and recently someone with a tow bar reversed into the front bar and left a bit of a dent! :P Would anyone know if this is possible to repair or if I do a full repray would it just be easier to get another S2 front bar?

Any rough prices for this kind of work and/or good places in Sydney to take the car to?

When I lived in Newcastle I used one of those 'Dentbusters' guys to remove a dent following a dog v. Subaru incident. (The dog actually charged from across the street, crossed traffic, and rammed the driver door when we were at 50kmh!?)(and he picked himself up and ran home too!)

The Dentbuster/Dentextractor guy was very very good. Paintless dent repair took out the large dent plus two small dents from guys opening their doors into our car. All up was about $100 iirc.

So, maybe take it out to one of those guys for a quote first - might save some hassle?

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
