hey all, just curious if i could get some rough prices on spraying a full bodykit, and for spraying a whole car (r33) im still deciding whether i should spray just the kit as im getting a new one, or spraying the whole thing.

if someone could give me some rough prices on both, or some websites for workshops in vic that i can browse that would be great

PS ive tried searching, but no luck.

peace

i checked the sticky, only DT panels didn't have a #, everyone else did.

depending where you are, if you're on a budget, DT Panels or Primal Garage (don't have personal experience) - one is east, one is west.

seriously, search harder... panel beaters/spray jobs/body kits, etc... those threads pop up with regularity in the Vic section.

... 800-1500 for a full respray + kit. I know some places thats all they charge... but you pay for good work. I'll just say that much.

Micolour will be substantially more than that, but then the work is without fault.

Also where is the kit coming from?

If its a copy kit... A lot of the time it isn't going to fit. There will be work required to make it fit correctly.

Hell even transit can warp body kits etc. So its highly likely.

Id' budget 3k at the bare minimum. If it was my car, i'd be budgeting 5k.

As ive said before... any spray can look good. Its 5-10years later that the really good work shines when the cheaper jobs fail due to poorer materials, prep and so on associated with low cost.

Oh, and most places dont have websites... its hard to quote anything online without seeing the car. Always best to take it for a visual.

Cheers

From the two shops you mentioned, i would recommend DT Panels and not the other one.

Some panel shops create an orange peel effect on your panel. This shows the quality of the work. Experience from many people showed that we shouldn't be too anal about the cost, it is the effort put into the spray painting.

lol yea im not going to swap my house for a paint job on my car, if, IF the paint starts to look dodgy after 5 years, ill get another paint job, it will still be under 5k or 10k$

it might look dodgy but maybe i should just get the panels that have the damage on them sprayed? im just afraid the colour will be to different, i mean, the origional paint on the car hasnt faded bugger all, so perhaps im in the good!

PS its not a show car, its my everyday car, there will be stone chips etc, so im not gonna be extremely anal about it, aslong as its a decent job with no paint variations or bodgy paint spraying...

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
