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

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
