Hey everyone, if you don't already know i have been sourcing wider panels for my R34 for some time now and asking questions around here and there to get all the info i can.

Now i have finally purchased myself a set of Cross- Factory Wide fenders for the front and the back panels and im loking at putting my bodykit along with the panels together.

The difficulty with the next part is once its done, where is the best place to get your car painted for a reasonable price. (Less than 2K if possible)

I want to respray the whole car, as such i mean i want the shell painted, in the same colour i have now (white). Not the engine bay, not anyhting else just the new parts and a fresh coat over the old one.

Is there a place in Victoria that can do a good, cheap yet fairly quick job?

I look at recieving all the parts within the next few weeks and wish to put it all together within a week after that. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

Yes, through personal experience, no point saving money on cheap panel beating. What you pay is what you get. Depends on which area you are in. There are a couple of good panel shops around that SAU recommends.

Oh that sounds like some good places i can ring up and check out, I might give all of em a go n see who has the best outcome for my car.

I called up Chargespeed in Clayton, i don't know what the verdict is on them, im sure someone on SAU has had news on them before, except i havnt checked yet.

They qouted 3K for the paint...yikes, i guess thats the reality but its a damn lot considering i still got to get qoutes to fit the panels and bodykit itself aswell. Has anyone dealt with Chargespeed and know if they are any good? They have a few Autosalon project cars they have enetered so im guessing they are decent?

Thanks for the help guys, Let us know how DT panels comes along too.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
