Some of you may remember my post about getting screwed over by "mechanics" in adelaide. Since therapy i can now openly speak about that. So i thought i might get my rear quater panel fixed, obviously by a panel beater and bring some pride back into my 32.

I bought the panel myself and had it freighted to the workshop. I was told it would be ready in 4 - 6 weeks. So 2 months later it hasn't even been started yet. Just sitting in his shed looking all depressed while i drive a sierra around that can't even go the speed limit. The reason it hasn't been started is, quote; "i'm waiting on a panel beater to come over from Tasmania".

Now he is a panel beater / spray painter. I can understand if he hasn't got time because he is busy but telling me bulls**t lies has made me quite agrivated. He won't even give me a quote. So i want to take it elsewhere but after the trouble i've already been through does anybody know a reliable, reputable, quality panel beater?

I dream of a magical place in a far away land where mechanics and customers live as one and we co-exist in peace and harmony. Can anyone help???

cheers vinnie, yeah where i work probably isnt the cheapest either. but we do quality work, its not like these volume shops that crank out as many jobs as possible, we take some time to get it right. :(

your old shed made a good backyard spray booth, haha.

i miss my old shed too :( like, really really miss it.

going from the shed, with pit, and room to fit about 4 cars in, to the one i have now, which only *just* fits the onevia in, sucks!

Yeah, black 32. I'll get it back eventually... I noticed the 33 when you first got it in the bridge and then found out a little bit more through the people i'm renting a room off at the moment.

I did have a thread about rav 4's a while ago. Short is it pulled out infornt of me and took out my drivers side from front panel, door and to the fuel cap. However it was under dubious circumstances and have learnt my lesson. But i still hate them as they are a joke and can't be classified as a 4wd.

actually i think ive met you before that, i had a chat to you when u worked at dominos?

Yeah that's true, good old Domino's that was a long time ago. I used to try to talk to anyone in an import especially skylines and there weren't any other 33's that looked as nice as yours. I think Joel and Amanda had 33's but that was it. I still hear updates with your's through the roommates.

haha, that brings back memories. i remember dominos carpark always had the lineup of black 32s, normally yours, that gts-4 with the vented bonnet and sometimes that n/a one. i always parked there to go to the bank and have a sus of the other lines :cool:

cheers man, i always tried to keep the 33 clean i spose. were joel and amandas 33s the burgandy and oranges ones? do i know your roommates?

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
