In need of a quality smash repairer. As the same with most, i am in love with my car, but it also holds alot of sentimental value, which money cannot replace, so i need someone who can give me peace of mind that they know someone who will look after her!

I was recently hit by a massive truck (mack semi, no trailer) he decided to change lanes and hit on the right corner (drivers side) of the rear bar, under the lights. At a quick glance it doesnt look like much, but with the force this guy hit me with the car was thrown into the next lane. Upon inspection i noticed that my rear left wheel is leaning in, and the right wheel looks like it is a bit out of place too. When i drove it, it kinda feels really boat-like, and when driving, while im acccelerating and my foot is on the pedal it feels fine, but when i take it off it feels like its like crab crawling, its strange. and also the hicas is going nutso too! Even though she feels ok, I'm quite hesitant to drive it as this car means everythng to me.

Please, can anyone recommend a quality workshop in melbourne? western suburbs if possible. Thanks!

MiColour in Cheltenham will look after you. Mick isn't back at work until the end of Feb though due to personal reasons but be assured he will look after your car 100%. He won't be the cheapest but I dare say he could quite possibly be the best.

TRANSCAR in (Coolaroo/Cambellfield/Broadmeadows area).

I have used many panel shops before but Transcar is the Best panel shop i have been to.. bar none.

Their quality and service is second to none..

Their attention to detail is astounding and literally no car will leave their shop doors in unsatisfactory condition.

And they also do importing and performance work.

Believe me go there and you won't be dissapointed... :thumbsup:

Hey Nick, lol funny I seen the guys at Primal a few days ago - they were, yep, AWESOME !!!!!!

After my accident as a starting point I went to another well known workshop down in sunshine, just knowing that I could go in there act all 'um i dont know whats wrong with my car' and this guy would feed me with a bit of info to go off. He tells me that my diff is gone and i need a new one (mind you he only looked at it), just because its leaking, I told the guys at Primal, they just laughed and said the gasket for it costs maybe $40!

As the damage from the accident on the body was minimal (only large mark and some cracks on the back bar) the back wheels were crab crawling and the steering was vibrating a bit, I knew there was bad things going on, they checked out my suspension for me, the side that got hit was out by 2, they adjusted it and gave me details for a suspension place.

Just shows what genuine people they are. I plan to do a fair bit of work to my baby soon, and they will be the ones i will be handing over my money to.

Yeah they are honest guys, which is a nice change in the car game. Also you can see that they know what they are doing by the quality of both their cars, check them out if whe you're in there next. Only thing is that ther workshop is a b!tch to find unless you have someone show you the way.

One thing I would suggest is to get your suspension work done by centreline. The quality of cars in that place speaks volumes for their workmanship.

Hope the car turns out ok!

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
