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!

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
