Hey all,

Just like to know if you guys know of (or have experience with) any good panel/paint repaint place, I need a couple of good places to get a quote (its going to be covered by insurance) and give to my insurance company. It can be close to the city or close to sunnybank area but must be close to public transport as I work in the brisbane city and mainly stay in sunnybank hills.

Thanks in advance. :)

if you want top quality work and money isn't a problem, you can't go past Exclusive Auto Centre. They're in the valley/newstead, just near the James street.

Exclusive Auto Centre

28 Chester Street, Newstead

Phone Nick, 0414 248 725

3852 2539

www.exclusiveautocentre.com.au

they are official repairers for maserati, ferrari and porsche and always have a lambo/ferrari in there

the work is 100% excellent, i have had work done there on my skyline (rolled the guards) and on my corvette (fixed the roof)

tell him that you were recommended by Warren with the corvette and he will help you out

and obviously its very close to public transport you could even walk from the city, or worst case catch a bus to the brunswick street mall and walk 5mins down to james street. or catch the 470 to james street etc.

anyway mate, good luck

cheers,

Warren

Spook's_Skyline: Dont need cheap man, its going to be done as an insurance job. I just need someone good to fix it and fix it the first time ;) Can you give me the full name of camerons? or is that the full name of the place? :(

WazR32GTSt: thanks for the suggestion I will look into organising me car for a quote there :)

Cameron's Body Works

708 Boundary Rd Coopers Plains QLD 4108

ph: (07) 3277 3475 Panel Beaters &/or Painters

i have taken all my noninsurance work there and they were excellent

when some clown ran into me, i asked suncorp if we could use camerons, but they werent on their list, so used some other mob

Edited by Spook's_Skyline

petal drove into a pole at junior footy

i pulled the front bar off in byron

got them both fixed at camerons (they did my original sparkly paintjob)

then got my guards rolled there as well

the clown running into me wasnt my fault, the rest was

also, sent decimate there for his 180 when he smashed it up when he first got it

Still havent had time to wash the car and take it around for a quote yet.. it seems to rain everytime I want to wash me car :(

Another question does any have any experience with the mob below:

Bignell Panel Repairs Pty Ltd

993 Fairfield Rd Yeerongpilly QLD 4105

I've been told by the insurance place to get a quote from there.....

Strongly suggest Scott at Custom Colours. Great attitude and workmanship. 52 McCarthy St, Salisbury. Ph 3277 8777.

Cameron's also fully resprayed a Pajero for me and I'm happy with that too!

Tell him Benny Wooster suggested you and I'm sure he'll try and get the work from insurance. Scott colour changed my GTR 6 years ago from start to finish, and it was a superb job with not one question mark over the finish, and remains perfect to this day. (pics attached)

Cameron's also fully renovated a Pajero for me and I'm happy with that too! No faults in 3 years.

Errm they quoted my last car after it was stolen...came up with ~$1500 repair bill. I laughed and got a requote with another mob ~$8000 repair bill.

Doesn't say much for their quoting ability....blind freddy could see the car was gouged by a screwdriver getting in, plus the elleventy thousand other marks it had from being thrashed through the bush and getting the spoilers ripped off.

Hrmm.. ok thanks DAN. Cost wise I really dont care as the insurance place is paying but I want a good job done the first time.. not like the initial place I went to where I went back 9 times and they still f@#ked it, adding more damage to my car as an "added bonus" too yay :\

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
