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,

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
