Fats I remember your car at the old workshop in Yennora, very heavy metal flakes on that paint came out very nice.

aquariuz6 he can do any repairs mate, he has a very good panel beater now, bring your car in for a quote.

ShaneF, I recently had my R32 resprayed from grey to black. Realy depends how good of a finish you want. He can do it cheap and it wil still look good, or he can do a better finish for a little more and then there's show car finish which he pretty much spends a whole day to just paint your car and then waits a week then rub back and flow coat it. So pretty much he has a finish for all budgets.

This is some pics of my car of what he calls a medium finish not quite show finish as its my everyday driver. This is straight from the gun, unbuffed or polished.

dont want to burst your bubble, but it dosnt matter if you used crap paint/good paint, all paint straight out the booth outside in the sun looks sexy, the quality of work/materials used only really shows up months down the track, if it looks that good still, or is borked to crap :whistling:

I'm guessing you havent witness many painters work then. Most of them come out of the booth lumpy, saggy, uneven, orange peel etc. It's only after they chop and buff the crap out of it before they start looking even. If you dont think the quality of work wont show up straight away or within a couple of weeks (curing time) then you're kidding yourself or dont know what to look for.

The materials do matter, but you dont have to have the most expensive to achieve a good finish. When I was talking about prices of finishes I was more referring to the extra time taken for prep work and spraying time rather then materials. All though he does use different clear coats for show finishes. Actually Louie specialises in making his own colours using his prefered brands of paint rather then charging the customers the high prices of eg House Of Colours paints, this is why he is so affordable

We got the 350 back from Louie today and we are very happy with the job. And also the price he charged to respray the front bar :glare:

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to get the front bar resprayed?

Mine's not too bad, but has a few too many stone chips for my liking, so I'd consider getting it resprayed if it's not overly expensive (might even get my g/f's front bar done also).

Thanks :laugh:

It was under 500 to respray front bar and repair and paint a scrape on the rear quarter, not sure if that was a special SAU price but it seemed pretty damn good to me :D

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
