Mate Ran Up My Ass, Whats A Good Panel Beater?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys long story short, i was coming out of maccas turning onto burwood hwy i was stopped, he must of thought i was going (wasnt tho cos car in left lane on burwood hwy) ran into my ass while i was standing still, fair bit of force knocked the boot out of wack a littlebit and broke all the clips n stufff on rear bar - boot (boot wont close rear bar still in fairly good nick tho) and its generally warped a littlebit and uneven, oh and a little crack on my brake light.

I live in Wantirna (SE Suburbs) and yea just thought you guys would know of a good place

thx, leigh.

These are some of the better I know of. If you search "panel beater" down the bottom of the vic page then you will find more. Good luck.

thx for the mate

ne1 else got anymore they'd like to add that are good price and do good work on imports?

I would give stud park panels a call they have a realy high standards. My mate took his 4 door 33 there after some guy put a tow bar throgh his door and damaged the quater and it looks great now.

I used Imperial Finish Body Works. They are on Centre RD, right near the intersection with princess hwy and springvale rd. When I hit a fire hydrant and had some fairly bad damage to my front right quarter, they did excellent work. Was really happy with the work. My mate also had work done there on his R32 GTR when he was rear ended badly. His whole boot, rear bumper, etc was bad and it looked brand new when done. No problem recommending them.

PS: Dont know how good he is on pricing as it was an insurance job, but his work is worth it. And my sig photo is the car after repairs, the front right.

he owns breos pannels in Dande he did my 2 quarters on my R32 skyline replaced GTST with GTR everyone been saying he did a Top notch job really stright no and fixed major rust stop replaced a pannel in my boot paid 1500 for both quarters and other small jobs to my car

He will do the job just tell him Bruno told me to give u a call and that you replaced his quarter pannels on his R32 skyline and he tell ya where he is and stuff and give ya a quote he really nice guy became good friends in the end :banana:

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
