Hi guys,

Long time no speak! Just wondering if you could impart some knowledge on me...where in Canberra is a good place to get your car re-sprayed? And how much would these places cost (approximately of course)? I'm not looking for a $15K showroom re-spray but I don’t want a dodgy - "it'll crack on you within a few months" job either. I don't really know a lot about paints and what affects the prices of them but I do want a reasonable metallic paint.

Thanks guys'n'gals.

Pat

really depends on what you want, you can get 2 pac finishes these days with acrilic paint (mind the spelling) so cost less due to not having to bake, plus all the other prep work. Your looking at 5k for a good job and thats if there is no dents in your car to start with.

A bloke I have met through work can get jobs done extremely cheap if you can prep the car yourself and supply the paint. Im talking $600 for a full respray in 2 pac. The way he gets it done so cheap is because he knows a place that spray paints kitchens. The job is pretty good, the only catch is they can only really do 2 pac. If you dont mind the gloss finish its a good option.

Thanks guys. Also thanks for the offer rebelde but I won't be doing it just yet as two reasons: I'm not sure if I want to keep my current car (which I may get re-sprayed) and the second being I'm looking into it more for when I get either a Skyline or 200sx (which I may have to get re-sprayed because I want a flawlessly beautiful car lol)....

    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk
