Hey all VIC users.

i bought a bodykit off ebay for my R33 2 door. its brand new and came primed ready to be painted. it needs some little modification before it will fit, i know this because i tried the side skirts.

i am only fitting the rear and sideskirts. (selling the front click link below)

i live in Montrose VIC. near ringwood/croydon. my car is stock QM1 white in color.

does anyone know any places they can suggest around my area or melbourne area that does a good job and dosnt charge an arm and a leg.

ive had 2 quotes....1 was $1500-$2000 (montrose panels) and the other $800-$1000 (phil mundays). both in croydon

Thankyou all for your efforts in suggesting places to go. much appreciated guys.

I just had some of my car painted by Mick @ Micolor, great guy and does a good job. I am pretty sure he used to work at ultrafine (mentioned above).

My car had a blend mark in the bonnet, a dodgey bumper and some humidity blistering and scracthing all over my rear left quarter panel. Its all good but am now worried when leaving it at shopping centers etc but you can't do anything about that.

here's what he acheived, from this:

    • I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do
    • Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.
    • R34 RB25de Neo by the way ^ 
    • Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
