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!

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
