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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
