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 mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
