Good Panel Repairer / Painted In Western Suburbs?


Recommended Posts

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.

Thanks.

Well, the time has come for me to get off my butt to fix my car's exterior damages... this weekend is it...

Any other good panel beaters in the Western suburbs???

dude, how many places do you need??!!? Would you like to send individual parts to different workshops or something!

GAL seems to be THE joint to go to out west

have you even rung any of those places? find it hard to believe non of them suited your needs... there's a lot of workshop names listed in this thread

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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
