aight ppl i was being stupid - hit boost suddenly in the wet around a corner - and hve suffered the consequences. luckily i didnt injur anyone but my car's not looking good.

destroyed my front bar, left headlights fully shattered, fender bent, and bonnet slightly warped. it looks like its just cosmetic damage and there isnt anything else wrong with how the car operates (as far as i can c) i need it fixed and soon.

just wanted to any suggestions u guys can give on panelbeaters/repairers in the SE melb area. did a couple searches but all the results are kinda older can anyone tell me if theyr still valid or wat.

pics will b up soon

I know it's not close but:

Gal Smash in Tullamarine is the place to go....

9330 3137 - Speak to Dave

Tell him you know Matt...

I had an accident in my line and he fixed it for me... Im also SE area but went over and saw him and he did a Mint job...

Good Luck with the repairs....

ya those guys are good.

I'm in the east and these guys called Graeme Cuthbert Automotive fixed up my line...did a great job and some custom things under insurance.

They are in Box hill and typically only do euro cars for Just Cars and AAMI.

Good guys really helped me out with special requests.

thanx for the replies guys. anyone else got any info?

i read on these forums that a place called the palm or somthing in moorabbin was ment to be good. but that was like 2 or 3 yrs bak. i know its not that long but can anyone confirm this?

ok oops......just read that thread by inark detailing contacts for wreckers, performance shops etc>_<.

here it is

Performace/import/automotive Related Links**updated 15/7**

its got almost everything i want. only thing missing is ppls opinions on these places. so wile i feel a tad idiotic id still like some feed back on any of these places or others ppl may have experience wit

i was insured by just cars and they sent my car to Classic Panels in dandenong.

they did a good job....spotless cant tell anything....except there were a few things like door not closing properly but it was just a clip :laugh:

EuroImage In Cheltenham is my choice , but they are expensive.

I got them to respray a new commodore i had before my Skyline with GM picking up the tab, very good job.

My Mate George has a very good reputation there,

worth a quote.

thanks for the replies guys. will chek these places out as soon as i am able.

just cars also sent me to Berwick Ultrafinish. they look very proffesional and were very thorough in looking over the car. has any one dealt with these guys before? r they as gud as they seem?

DONT take it to coolstore panels in croydon. I took my car there and they f**ked up the colour, didn't deliver in the time frame they gave me. Never once called me back when they said they would. The lady was a total b!tch to me and when I complained about the colour they didn't want to know about it. They had my money thats all they cared about. Also cracked some plastic bits inside the car.

Phil munday panel works in kilsyth are pretty good I think. Ph: 9725 4111

The good thing is with Just Cars im pretty sure if u take it to a beater they recommend it has a lifetime warranty, so if somethings not 100% theyll re do it.

Ive got a whole R33 front end if your interested?

(Headlights, aftermarket f/bar, fenders and vented bonnet(legal!)

Gal Smash in Tullamarine is the place to go....

Mate i stand by this guys work...

seen him fix a repairable write off and it looks MINT!!!!!

i totally agree with matt here

Gal fixed my car when i smashed it in April.

I could go in there and see it anytime i wanted and Dave went out of his way for me heaps.

My car came back looking better than it did when i first brought it and im over the moon with what a top job they did on it.

    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
    • 'sif the error will be that low!
    • I do know where there is a fair few 😉
