First off i am just wondering where you guys get your skylines serviced. I have owned mine for close to 3mths now and have just passed 5,000km since a owned it (41,000km in total) and want to get a comprehensive service done. Apart from the front brakes squeeking a little bit everything seems to be running smoothly but just want peace of mind.

Also after a good panel beater. Had a small accident a couple of weeks ago in a car park. I have attached a couple of images of the damage (sorry for the poor quality of the photos.) As well as that just having a few stone chips here and there that i would like to get fixed up. Obviously dont want to pay through the roof but willing to fork out the extra cash for a good job done. Any help and/or price estimates for both would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Shaun @ Boostworx is my choice of repairer for mechanical work, Also Graham West on Marion Rd is good.

As fot the slight mishap, don't really know any pannel beaters apart from Sambo, BUT as for scratches and chips i do recomend Chips Away! They did my BMW a couple of years back and was fantastic!

Depends where you live, obviously. Doyles is one of the best, but you pay for it. Prestige at Pooraka is ok quality/cheap price. MattR swears by O'Learys at St. Agnes.

By the looks you are looking at a full front bar respray, which should be around $300 for the bog and spray. Bonnet chips generally are whole paint jobs, as touch-ups never work out 100%. Usually you are looking around $500 for a bonnet respray. These prices are in my experience by the way.

Go to Sitters (?) on Franklin Street right next door to old Balfours complex / opposite the Marksman range. They quoted me $400 to fix a big crack in my rear bar and repaint........ paint is a two-colour silky white pearl as well. havent bothered fixing it up at this stage. They did a repair to my dads Patrol & it is a 100% perfect job........

ive always used ergal crash repairs near holden hill...they fixed my other cars n always did good job...

as 4 general service, i use Brentons Mechanical Workshop on main north rd opposide kfc, allways lokoed after me, and they know what they r doing cos they been around 4 a long time.

As far as garages go I take my GTR to Manta Racing of London rd by the gocarts. Steve want have a lend of you or your money and nows his stuff . He can also arrange to get it to Peter hall if needed.

As far as paint goes , my car is as we speak at Mr Paint and panel just two doors up from boostin oz. He is also painting gazzanats {Gary Myers} pick up at the moment {drift burnout man from drift nationals2} You could also try boostin aus as a mechanic {the guy's on here recomend them}

Of course this would help if you live on the north side of town

hoped this will help

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
