Hey there guys,

I have just moved from NSW and i have been browsing forum after forum trying to find VIC modified car owners and i have found SAU is the biggest population of vic members. Been a forum member for a while here and love the site and people seem great.

Just wondering if anyone knows a good panel shop that can cut a fair bit of rust out and i need a reputable spraypainting joint to get my car sprayed. I got quoted at a place for anywhere between $500-$1500.There is rust in the boot, above the front and rear windscreen and some dings as well as a heap of surface rust. The colour i want is the midnight purple colour off the holdens with gold glitter in it so i would prefer a aftermarket spray painting company if possible.

Oh and i live in Noble park but i work at morrabin i dont mind where it is as long as its not a long long way away.

Thanks for any help guys much appreciate it,

Kory.

Hey Kory,

Welcome to Vic,

I personally would recommend

Gals Smash repairs,

9335 2599, Speak to Dave.

He is located in Tullamarine just near the airport but i also live in Noble Park area and go out to him due to his caliber of work..

      Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.

      Report that engine failure

      Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)
