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,

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
