I'm looking for some contacts.

If you are in Brisbanes Northern suburbs and have dealt with a panel beater who has done "GOOD" by you, and you'd recommend please post details here.

I am looking for someone who will be able to replace a rear bar, fix up the very end of the rear quarter (where the bar attaches) and a few little clear coat bubbling issues on both doors.

and a few little shopping centre scratches.

Don't require Show quality work.

just regular panel beater, who can blend in the paint and will not rape me on price, and who will keep there word on when the job will be complete.

anyway,

post away.

You will find about a million to choose from at Geebung/Virginia which is like 10 minutes away from where you are.

There are many panel beaters in there that have been astablished for 20-30 years so they are all respectiable in many ways.

you can't go past very fast repaints at petrie, just next to the train station, theyv'e fixed and painted several on my familys cars of recent full resprays on my r33 4door and bro's mr2 they also get alot of work from carmen import centre for skylines so there right up to speed on all the colour codes and matching, speak to peter send me a pm if u want the phone number i should have a card

On a similar theme, do these places do smaller repairs, such as fixing up a cracked front bar and respraying it? I have been to a few smash repair type places on the Northside and they weren't interested. Too small a job for them, I guess...

Also, any idea on what a repair like this is likely to cost?

Many thanks.

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
