Hi fellas,

Need some help, do you know of any good panel repairs / painters in the western suburbs?

I don't want to drive all the way to say, Springvale, I'd rather have it done locally - I'm sure there must be some one around here that can help.

Name and contact would be super - planning to get it done soon.

Thanks.

Ha ha ha.. well, I wanted to get a good list and then decide which ones suit.. :D

I rang a few places - I think I got a good one - it's called Primal Panels... very competitive price. :D

Thanks all.

mate, speaking from experience, DON'T go with the cheapest price. There is a very DIRECT corelation between money spent and results achieved, when it comes to panels/painting.

Did you get a quote from GAL? Word of mouth counts for a lot, i don't think Primal panels has been mentioned in this thread...

what needs to be done on your car?

Hi mate, you might not remember me - I bought the R34 Nismo wing off you a couple of months ago - we met in Chadstone, remember? Yeah, mate - I know GAL is a good workshop - I have called him, will bring my car into his shop this weekend for a quick quote... but to be honest, price is a bit of an issue as I am on a bit of a budget.

My car needs 3 things done... the quater panel near the back close to the lights on the right side (close to fuel cap) is damaged and has a dint size of a palm... that obviously needs to be pumped out and repainted... my whole back boot needs to be repainted and a new GTR wing (currently only in primer) needs to be be painted and fitted.

Overall, Prime Garage have quoted me $500 for all of the above work - which is absolutely excellent... that's pretty much about all I can afford for the above now... if anyone can match or beat this price then I'm all ears.

What you guys think?

Thanks for your advice bro... hope you're doing well.

make the effort to get to DT panels in springy

they just finished our streeter and he is the only place in vic who touches our cars.

Is it the place with chubby dude called Vu Tran? ;)

He's got a bit of an attitude problem and also, DT are pretty expensive and takes ages.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
