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)

    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too  
    • hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy
