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

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
