Tim, go see Lanley Motor Bodies in St Mary's, just behind Keith Bowden Electrcial (2nd Street on Right, building on Left).

Ask for Ken and tell him I sent you there. He has done work on both mine and Dad's cars (not the GT's though) but his work is top notch :) Known him for about 10 years now, tends to look after us

thanks lee ill try them this monday

S & N Crash Repairs. Ask for Sam. I had my front bumper sprayed for AUD 150. Pretty good job. Nice bloke too! Old enough that you can be sure that he won't be boosting your car when you left your car there over night!

thats the one thing im worried about some guy taking it out while its cold and redlining it :

That sounds a bit expensive for a bonnet, being on of the easiest panels to paint

If you havent already got this done, try GFC Automotive Refinishing (He's the agent for Colour House, aka. Meguires) and absolutely ace work!

i got a quote it was at aplace in blackwood that just qoutes adjacent mv autos then sends them off to lonsdale to get done.

Find out who does it in Lonsdale as there is a VERY VERY bad spray painting mob on O'Sullivans Beach rd Lonsdale. A tip.. They are a big blue company. :D Blue tow trucks, blue building.

I had big drama's with them and still the paint isn't that crash hot, no runs any more but not a good quality paint finish, quite depressing.

Another friend of mine also had troubles with paint runs from the same place 6 months prior to having my car done, unfortunately I didn't know this at the time.

EDIT: That will teach me for not reading the whole thread. :bunny:

Try across the road at Quality Crash they do good spray jobs and if you show them you are in the know won't charge through the roof either. Had work on my car done there!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
