Personally i would take my car to Gal Smash in Tullamarine..

9330 3137 ask for dave

Tell him you know matt in the Yellow 33

Dude i live in Dandy and i take my car to him, hes a gun and his work is fantastic.. But thats just my recomondation....

any panel shop charges 1.5k to 2k for a respray in da same colour, for 2k you can generally get a complete strip n respray in a different colour...

front bar modification n spray 300 + 150(for the respray)

if ur talkin about the front quater panels to look like the gtr ones, then $400 for the pair + $150 to $250 for respray...

these are general bargains that i have come across in my experience

Depends on what needs to be done.

If you take the car there with all the chips filled and sanded and the headlights removed and trim removed and all that then you can get it a little cheaper, but generally, you get what you pay for.

Is it metallic paint or straight colour?

ok man....no need ta cry abt it....i wuz jus sayin what quotes i've got n the prices that work has been done for.

n u mentioned 4 litres of clear PPG (ceramiclear)$600, first of all lemme know if ur a professional painter? then lemme know y u take 4 litres of clear coat for a car the size of a skyline???

if u r a painter, i can imagine the ripoff..... :lol:

hey guys,

just after a good panel shop in SE burbs.. i got a fair bit of work to do.

i got quoted 2.5k to

respray roof

modify front bar & spray

pump front quarter & spray

think this is a good deal.?

thanks.

observe his question to us, carefully.... Quote "if your painting a full body kit,and flow coating the car...you would most certainly use 4 litres of clear", I don see where he needs all that to be done, but your break down is a classic example of a panel shops quotation breakdown, when they intend to rip u off....

anyways am jus messin wiz u....so dont take it too seriously mate.... :P

The thing i am observing is where you quote a complete strip and repaint for 2k.....the thing is theres guys that take pride and use good materials.....so i ran the figures you do the math....its not that hard......the problem is there to many "professionals" who give advice such as you have ......let me ask you something.....have you ever painted a car????

nope I get em painted, cant be stuffed painting my car just to save about 500 bucks <_< ....am not a pro, but i have sat through the whole process, cuz i want to see whats being done. do u have to be a pro to know the process as well as the costs involved???? :P

As someone else said.....the bottom line is.....you get what you pay for Happy bargain hunting ....and dont use the pressure cleaner on your car......the paint might sheet off :DNow its past your bedtime......get in your spiderman jarmies and toodle off to nigh nighies :P

I will assume you have experience there.....cuz I have never heard of anyone getting a paint job n then the pressure cleaner sheeting the paint off.....must be the high quality materials being used by u.... :P

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
