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

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.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
