Hi All,

I've just purchased my first skyline. The interior and engine are very good but the body will need a respray for it to be perfect. I've searched the Queensland forums and havent found any recent posts that would answer this question. So if anyone knows of a shop that does quality resprays on the northside please let me know. I dont mind paying more for great work either. Thanks in advance.

Nate.

Reallly NO....

DMD are not on the northside, there fore i did not recomend them... Funny that...

Anyways Pickering Smash have enough experience and have a good wrap so why do you need to go further... What does DMD do that Pickering cannot. I have had a bumper replaced in one of my skylines and spray work done by them and have been happy with both the price and the quality was beyond what i had expected...

Stafford Body Works. Ask for Allen. Always working on prestige cars and quite a few imports. BMW's, Merc's etc.

Don't use DMD, they suck, I had a but of touch up work done and it had huge sanding marks in it, really amateur.

If you want someone really good try Shipstone at newmarket, they will cost you a fortune (they do lots of porsches, mercs etc). But If you want someone who will do a pretty good job woth out costing the earth give PJ Murphys in the Valley a call, I was happy with work they have done for me.

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
