There is an excellent paint shop at the end of the street my works on. I can't remember their name offhand but they do repairs/ paint for collectable classics and often have classic/ euro stuff in there. A bloke at work had his Gemini painted there, it cost him 8k and he did all the prep work. I'll get their name for you tomorrow.

why would you want a 10-15k paintjob for?

showcar paint.

still a couple things to do. and it will take along time to paint. most quotes have been around that price for what he wants.

Some places dont even want to touch it.

THE best paint and pannel;

Cafasso Motor Body Repairs 96- 100 Richmond Rd Keswick SA 5035 ph: (08) 8371 1933

Mostly deal with Porsche and Mercedes, but also do restorations/classic etc.

Sorry, the best would be Des Higgins Coachbuilder

I believe he is one of only 2 agents for Bently, Daimler and Rolls Royce.

I have never seen a workshop as clean as his. I wouldnt eat off of his floor for fear of leaving crumbs or a stain.

a couple of those plases cafasso and des higgins, are great bodywork shops. eg metal finishing etc, but if you want show paint, come to hounslow crash repairs, we do alot of show cars including the candy apple re vl calias (MRVLT) and many other custom paint jobs, were at lonsdale. numbers in the yellow pages.

    • UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.  
    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
