Good Afternoon Skylines Australia,

My 1990 R32 GT-R has been getting a full engine rebuild, forged pistons and N1s at RE Customs for some time now and I have been totally happy with their service and results, and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

The problem is now my engine is all fixed up I want to have a good hard look at the interior and exterior - maybe get a paint job, new boot, some new seats, a new wheel etc. I am also looking to get a good alarm system installed.

RE Customs only do engine work so I am looking for advice about what might be a few good workshops to look into. I looked through the workshops thread but couldn't really find much. If I can take my car to one shop and get all of the interior/exterior and alarm taken care of then that would be great - but any info on any workshops that do any of this is most appreciated.

Thanks in advance to anybody who can point me in the right direction.

Dude... 3 posts in 20mins lol.

Spray work - Micolour in Cheltenham have been doing excellent work.

9555 8011/0713 815 810

As for other things like seats etc. Its more a personal thing. Your better to shop around and see what suits you best really

Wheels. I dont think you can go past Rampant (Aaron).

www.rampant.net.au

There are a few places to get you started, good luck with it all

dont mean to hijack and start up another thread but on the same note, anyone know of a good insurance pannel workshop in/near springy? Doesnt have to specialise in imports like DT Pannels. The family corolla got can-opened by a 4x4 reversing out and not looking.

thanks.

edit...never mind its all been sorted. :)

Thanks heaps for the advice!!! I'll give most of them a call and see what they can do. Looks like it might be smartest to take it different places for the exterior, interior and alarm respectively.

Heres what I got....

Exterior/Spray Shops

DT Panels

Micolour

Alarms/Audio

Interior

Try Con or Andrew at C&A Auto Fashion in Blackburn.

Do those guys do interiors? Or just exterior?

Just take out your interior. its cool.

Do you mean I should rip out my entire interior and put a whole new dash in? How much is that gonna cost me?? Like millions, right?

As for other things like seats etc. Its more a personal thing. Your better to shop around and see what suits you best really

I'm happy to do that, but pretty clueless on how to "shop around". Where would I look to find a bunch of places that sell/install seats and dashes etc?

Thanks again guys!!

Also Alarms.

If you become a member of SAU-Vic, it will give you access to heavily discounted Alarm installation by a friend of mine who is a supporter of the club :)

It offsets the cost of membership easily, so there are MANY bonuses just there.

They can probably do both. Ask them.

Thanks mate I will. Theyre in the yellow pages? Or do you have a number?

Sweet I'll check it out. Does he also do audio/turbo timer installs? Cause I'd probably get them done at once.

Last time: Is there anything more anyone can tell me about how I can track down a bunch of people that do interior work on cars? Like where I should look. I got no friggin clue.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
