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?

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
