when i had all the paint work and panel beating done on mine i had 8 panels painted and panel beated and cost me $1200. and the job was bloody perfect. maybe you should shop around a bit for how much everywhere can do it becaise you might be able to get it done cheeper then the excess payment

Where did you get yours done?

the only reason i got mine so cheap was because its my dads old panel shop. but gt panels is the place, in noosa. you can go in and get a quote. all i can say is there main painter was trained by my dad and can match ANY colour. They also specilise in restorations of really old cars so its interesting to check out there projects

its called go to panels now thou. i just remeber it as gts from when i was a kid growing up there

Thanks for the info, i'am thinking i might be better off getting the quote and the money off the insurance company and just paying the extra and painting the entire car.

At least then i get a full repray from the whole thing.

u will find that the insurance company wont just give u the cash they will pay for the damage that was done. thats why i said key the other side of ya car, then that way u can say the whole car is ruined pay your excess and get a full respray. bcoz its gonna cost a fair bit for a whole respray it will be much cheaper to pay your $1400 and get a whole respray.

Can't because the police report said what damage was done as will the police photo's. Hopefully the insurance company will give me a cheque as my policy says that i can choose who i want to do the job then just pay the extra onto of that.

argh ok fair enough, but i just had mine fixed after a lady reversed into it and u dont even see the money, u get a quote from your agreed repairer and then they get in contact with your insurance company with the quote, then if your insurance is happy with the quote then they will give the go ahead for the repair to happen, and once the repair is done then they send a cheque directly to the repairer, so u dont even get any money changing through your hands. but if u want to get the rest resprayed then that is for you to work out with the repairer separately then he will do the whole job and insurance will cover there part and u just pay him cash or what ever for the rest of the work that u are paying for. respray's arent cheap, if u want it done properly u gotta get all your windows out etc, and most guys who do proper jobs do it that way. like with the damage i had i asked how much for a full respray, he said about 8K it sound's expensive and u can probably get it done cheaper but with the guy i used i know his work is thorough and he doesnt cut corners.

Yeah thanks for the advice i think i might just get the repairs done and just pay to get any other bits fixed at the same time out of my pocket. I would hate to think i pay to get the whole car resrayed and someone does the same thing.

Man if i seen a girl/guy doing that to mine or anyones car for that matter :nyaanyaa:

are r32's 16's? Basically, has r33 calipers on it and I was told to try out some r33 wheels as they should fit. Basically, just looking for stock looking wheels that are 16's and fit over the caliper :) Oh, 16's are my choice as I want to run 255/50/16 ET streets when I hit the track and want to have this car to have all 4 wheels the same :) edit: need 7" width to run those tyres.

32 & 33 rims are only 6.5" wide. If you want 7" you'll have to get something else.

I have a set of these at work, factory nissan but I dont know exactly what they are off. they do clear r33 brakes and are 16x7. you can have the whole set for $350 if you want.

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
