im having thoughts about getting my car resprayed, and am looking for some good panel shops in brisbane. I know MBQ (mercedes benz queensland) is VERY good but they are very expensive. I know THE BUMP SHOP is also supposed to be good. any experiences anybody? I know its not going to be a cheap job but i really dont want to spend the earth. does anyone know of any businesses offering very good quality work at reasonable prices? dont want backyard jobs though. anyone done this and can give me a ballpark figure of what it is going to cost for a full respray? ie full body but not engine bay.

here are the details

R32 GTR WHITE

Has these extras over a normal gtr

NISMO FRONT BONNET LIP

NISMO 3 PIECE SIDE SKIRTS

NISMO REAR LIP SPOILER

NISMO REAR PODS

Any info and/or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Had my car painted at GT motors at mayne VERY happy with the results its only a small place and they take great pride in their work. Not the cheapest or fastest around but you get what you pay for and not one person has been able to fault the bodywork on my car (black r32 gt-r). ph 32524928 ask for Frank or Jack. Are you doing a colour change??

blur, no colour change. just a white respray. if you dont mind, could you pm me the rough amount that you paid? did you have the whole car done? and how much trouble did they go through, ie did they take the removable panels off to spray or spray them on the car? i went to MBQ and they said that tail light surrounds needed to be sprayed as well. blur, would like to have a look at your car one day. i wouldnt mind meeting some more gtr owners as this is all new to me.

I couldn't say enough good stuff about BCM. I haven't got my respray done yet, but all of their work so far has been excellent. Ask for Scott, I have known him for a number of years now (professionally, not personally), and he will be more than happy to talk to you.

This girl my mate knows went overseas to represent Australia in the International Titles for Car spraying (didn't know there was such a thing) and she got third (1st in Australia)....Well she doesn't do private coz it's cost way too much but she highly recommends the Paint Shop (forgot the name) on Sylvan Road, Toowong, up near Coronation Drive.

I went to him and was told it'll cost approx. $250 a panel, $300 for the bonnet. I'm guessin' about $3600 for the whole car but am yet to confirm that with him.

DON'T go to any panel shops in WEST END near the City (there is only one I think but I don't wanna get in trouble for defamation). We've had 3 jobs done there and they fully ****ed up each time (you'd think we'd learn but we didn't :P ).

Be wairy the guys at Apex's can be wankers sometime....they work best with insurance companies looking after standard production cars.

:-|

Apex Auto trans (next door, same business) is the place which told me I would have another year of warranty on my 'box if I serviced it with them (for $250). That arvo, it wasn't fixed when they returned it but I waited a week to get back to them. Then they said I wasn't covered by warranty and it was going to cost me another $1200. - dodgy sometimes. - at least the auto trans section

go and see gt motors say Adrian with the black GT-R sent you... The car was painted as a bare shell (all bolt on panels painted off the car) no overspray anywhere. Just a good quality job.

You should definitely go see the people at Toowong Auto Service in Sylvan Rd Toowong as mentioned earlier in this thread. I have only heard good things about them from a number of different sources. I'm getting some work done with them in the next couple of months.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
