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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
