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.

Didnt even realize it was scrapping the car (as i was going pretty slow) until it hit the end part and dented in :banana:

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!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
