hahaha yeah this is funny. I think ylwgtr2 knows alot more than you dan, so just shut up and stop digging yourself in deeper crap then your in.

For 2k they would probably shit in a bucket, put it through the spray gun and paint your car with it. No way you will get a quality paint job for the low rediculous price.

When i bought my car i was giving it a wash with the high pressure cleaner. The paint from my sideskirt got stripped off. Obviously the previous owner decided to get a shit paint job on the sideskirts. Thats what you will get.

Anyways, goodluck with getting a paintjob, just dont be asking here 2 months where to get another paint job when your paint has water marks and starts fading.

your opinion can be expressed, thats the reasons for discussion forums existing, but please act civilised and stop asking people to shut up....and at what point did u get the impression that i wanted to get a paintjob done? cuz i got it done over a year ago n wuz jus sayin that the job was done well n for a bargain.

n for your information i do not depend on this forum to get anything done, it is just a place to have a discussion and get insight into other peoples views and experiences. Please do not tell me what to do, cuz I do not believe u own this forum.

I know a place that will respray your car (any colour) including door jams and boot for $1500. This includes sanding down your old paint (not to metal), filling dints, primer, base coat and clear. But, you certainly get what you pay for. From memory, paint is Motospray (or worse). Expect a few runs, dust marks, etc.. But overall, it isn't that bad. If you do a cheap car like a Silvia in say, white, it will look quite good. This is in the Western Suburbs though.

i act civil to people that actually have some reputation on this forum an not for someone who has been here for 4 months and thinks he knows all.

i may have joined the forum after you guys but that does not mean I was born 4 months ago....or that i have been using cars since of late....

I do not know all, but would be straight forward and as why it is done in a certain way if it sounds unnessary....am not going to jump on the band wagon and go okay, this guy has painted his car or he is a pro, so believe all that he says and agree...

I said what my experience was, the reply to that was "Bullshit", so I asked him if he is a pro or has sprayed his own car. When he gave me a break down, it was not clear to me why he was using certain materials in excess quantity, which from my experiences, I thought was unnecessary. His reply to that was something about the body kit being sprayed.

I have had many experiences with quotation break downs claiming unnessary quantities of materials, when actually they do not use the claimed amount but are just trying to rip u off......

when i meant stripped, i did not mean to bear metal....that is not usually done on a car which has a good body without rust. I meant taking all the panels n windshield, etc. off....

I would not be using the current car I have for more than 3 years, so a decent job for about 2k is reasonable to me. :D

ok then.. you 2 are just like dezz and nate.. so will this ever end.? i think i poll is in order.

So if anyone else can recomend a good shop that would b helpfull..!

corrections have been made to this post as requested by master dezz

yeah nah i think i will leave it black... can he flare my front guards...? coz im getting sick of my tyre scrub... yeah can you get me a quote for that shit mentioned in the first post... how much did it come to,, to do all that shit.?

Oh man this thread is gold.....someone telling ylwgtr2 how to charge for a paint job???!!! :P

Yeh, i walked in with my quote from another shop, and he has promised to beat it.....or was that beat me <_<

You get what you pay for, and paint like wheels etc is a pretty big part of a car loking good....just be careful not to bin your newly sprayed car at Sandown :) (crosses fingers)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
