Hello all... this is my first time posting here but have been a regular visitor for a while. I've just been looking around trying to figure out what the hell you guys keep talking about lol. All my friends say I'm pathetic when it comes to cars so I've come to learn from the best! :) plz dont scold me when I ask stupid questions hehe...

btw got a very stock gtst, in dire need of a respray etc :D... Can anyone recommend decent paint shops around the place. How much will I be looking to spend if i was to go for a full respray or if i wanted diff colour? tnx in advance :)

7k jesus.... I was ready yo pay 5k, but if you guys say they do a top job I guess I will have to think about it. thnx

it all depends what you want.

best to give them a call, and go take your car down so they can have alook every car is different so it just depends

(for example you may need/want them to remove pin dents etc etc)

it all depends on what you need done. :no:

that 7k was entirely stripped, everything resprayed in calsonic blue, but my chassis is very straight, so there is only 1-2 pin dents to pull.

it depends on the colour you want too, calsonic blue isnt a cheap colour, whereas a more common, similar blue would have cost me 6k perhaps?

give brett a ring, he is more than happy to have a chat with you, and tell you exactly what is needed.

$1500?

whats the quality like?

and do they do door seals, etc etc? or just external spray?

iv seen them for this price, its usually not a change of colour but the same colour to freshen up your old paint, and doesnt include engine bay door trims etc, if im wrong then ill get a respray aswell lol,

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
