Vu might need to clarify (or i will when i pick up a part from him tomorrow) but i'm pretty sure DT has a lengthy warranty period... for some reason i have 'lifetime' in my head but that could be wrong.

thats a load of crap! coz im a spray painter myself. it all depends on the prep and the finish off the gun.

Load of crap?

A few simple and basic words that even you should understand.

Quality of paint.

Paint alone (no labour) for my engine bay was VERY substantial, but then... i can see my face in it

Add to that prep work, obviously more/better prep work results in a better overall result

Dropped by DT today, they certainly do warranty and very well, getting it repaired either next week or the week after (due to cruise :thumbsup:)

How longs the warranty just took mine in today, midnight purple respray

hope you took some before shots ! :D

would love to see the before and after product

Yeah ill post them up as soon as i get it back, should be on the 10th or somewhere around that, a new kit is going on as well so should be mint. :ninja:

seen your car sitting same spot last 2 days.

10th of april. geez thats not too bad

Just wondering had anything thing been done with? Going in there tomorrow to drop off a s2 spoiler, but just curious.

  • 4 weeks later...
if you want all the panels to match up then do the whole car...

why do some shops ask 10k+ for a paintjob?

dont matter how good a job they do unless they dip your car in gold or something its just way too much

$10k for a respray is about right if you want it done right and show condition.

i dont think you understand what a propper respray is, full strip removing everything inc engine, fully rubbing back and prep work takes weeks to be done right. my father owns a crash shop and 12 years ago he painted a show car now that cost the guy $8k then for the job and it won best paint 8 years running and last year had a freahup and that cost him $5k after a few blemishs had popped now its back winning best paint again.

a cheap 1500 job is just a tape up and scuff and spray dont expect the paint to be there in a few years.

also the cost of paint cheap stuff about 200-400 to paint (protech)

decent paint ya look at about 1200 just in materials (ppg) then add in any pearl $$

As i mentioned about a month I would put some before and after pics up of DT panels work on my car. Pics are very average quality.

In my opinion DT panels do a good job for the price which was $3300 ($2500-basic repspray+$500-door jams+$300-front a rear windows removed).

Good points:

+ Great paint job, looks really good

+ Price

+ Vu is very friendly and easy to deal with

+ Free screwdriver (left in boot)

Bad points:

- Didn't put the door back on properly

- Broke my indicator bulbs (cost $4 to replace)

- Time (4 weeks+, I have heard this is not the case with everyone)

- Slight over-spray (are going to fix it at their expense)

- Pretty sure they stuffed the LED brake light on the spoiler

But overall I would definitely recommend them.

    • 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)?
