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!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • 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.
