Im looking for a good panel beater in SA for a mate of mine. Preferably cheap, but i know that quality and cheapness dont usually come hand in hand. Any one had any good experience wiith many places around the Adelaide area?

Cheers David

I would use and recommend St Marys Collision Repair Centre.

A old mate of mine (Peter Chronis) used to own this joint many years ago.

If he's still there, I know they do good quality work.........don't know how cheap though.

Failing that, South Road Crash in Edwardstown are pretty cheap.

i would suggest ALL TYPE CRASH parafield on the side street that runs with main north pretty sure hayden works there he has a nice 32, done a few imports i believe, if not check out EAGLE PAINT N PANEL on old port road also very good repairers!

What he said... Go to All Type Crash, they are skyline finatics! and at last count there are 7 of them in the workshop atm getting repared up. if that doesnt make them experts then i dont know what :P You can expect quality work from Hayden and Allan, at a reasonable price unlike doyals which seems to charge the earth.

yep doyals charge an arm and a leg! i got quoted for my front, rear bar, skirts and spoiler to be sprayed! i think it was a little over 2k? so i decided on a home job! didn't turn out so good but decent enough not to tell it hasn't been sanded properly from a few meters away!

but there is a place i would recommend! i can't remember the name but it's near hindmarsh stadium, as you're travelling on south road and you've just passed grange there's a car dealer on a corner, you turn there and the place should be straight down on another corner!

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
