Hey cosmokram3r,

Let me know how you get on... My 33 had an unfortunate conversation with a brick letterbox and I am possibly considering just having it repaired and then a full respray (I can get it repaired for a couple of hundred bucks, but it's about $700/$800 with painting... so if it works out at like $2000 for a full respray then it might be worth it as the paint's in 'alright' condition... nothing too flash).

$1500 will almost certainly be a cheap, bad quality job

I was kinda thinking along those lines... I would have expected amore in the region of $2000-$3000, possibly up to $4000

If you sand back and prime the whole car yourself it's more like $700 :banana:

I had a quarter panel of mine done at Imperial Finish Body Works on Centre Rd in Springvale. Came out great, happy to recommend them. Don't know about prices for full respray though. Believe the owners name is Murray.

my mate told me the panel beaters that would do it for around $1500-2000 are in noble park a few shops down from noble maccas.. i heard DT panels is good but expensive so yehhh wandering now if it would be better to go to the place my mate was talking about, he had his car done there because my mate brings him business, sanded it all down himself think it cost him around $1000, if you've noticed a ferrari red r32 around noble/dande area thats it it looks real good.. i just didnt know how much resprays usually go for, so wasnt sure about the $1500-2000 price if it was good or bad, sounds like a top price now

$4-5k for a proper respray

yeh i agree 4-5k sounds bout right. thats what i got quoted for a full respray. If your willing to travel a bit Gal Smash Repairs on Garden Drive in Tullamarine are pretty good.

give him a buzz and speak to Dave, he'll sort you out.

I'm a spray painter and I'm only gonna say this one time and one time only! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

If you pay $1500 for a full respray, it'll probably look pretty good for the first 6months... until the paint starts to peel off on all the edges of the panels...

Also, for that price, don't ecpect that anything will be removed from the car... I mean, everything will be masked up and also, don't expect that ANY form of repairs will be done... I'm talking, no stone chips filled in, no car park din''ts fixed, etc etc..

Bsaically, if you love your car... being a tight arse now is gonna cost you more later.

DT Panels expensive????? hahaha, your mates are on drugs

$2K - $2.5k is dirt cheap for a respray and a $1-$1.5k i wouldn't even classify as a respray... more like just a "spray"

If you're fussy, realistically you gotta spend upwards of $4k, more like $5k+

If you want a killer job, Mr Gloss is in Moorabbin, don't expect much change from $8k though.

Spray painting is about a close a real world example of 'you get what you pay for' as you'll ever get.

good luck! (my car was resprayed at DT Panels)

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
