150 hours? what's that like 4 weeks of 9-5 for one person ?

My dad's mate's son is a smash repairer and I've seen the work he's done on his car by himself in 2 days. Some old banged up shit box, looking like a show car with the nicest paint job ever. Where's this 150 hours coming from ? I didn't say I want to take it to some slackers out west who drink half a carton of VB during a single shift.

hey if one guy can do it in 2 days, yes it is a rip ...most tradies are overcharging, esp. considering most work for cash.

It's not rocket science or some dangerous job. If one guy can spray paint a car in 2-3 days and paint costs less than $1000 and you're billing $3k, you're a greedy mongrel. That's $2k pure profit for 2-3 days work? That's twice as much as average weekly wages.

well why dont u go to all those workshop and say that to their face??? ahahaha and have you ever sanded down a car before? rofl i bet you 10 minutes of sanding and you will be sick of it! ahaha and plus it usually takes more than 2 days to paint... u sand it all during the day prima it at night spray it on the next afternoon and let it dry for another night, buff and polish next day, and thats working flat out and missing some spots like extra coat on prima/clear rebuff etc etc... think about it, and again thats working flat out.

2 days for a full show car paint job? You're dreaming Denis.

I suggest you take your car to him if you're that worried about cash and see how long the paint job actually lasts. Even better, put your car in a show and see what the judges have to say about a 2 day paint job!

    • So the original radiator is leaking now. Looking at getting a fully aluminium one next. Am I correct in saying that the Series 2 Auto Stageas have a separate trans cooler from factory (located in between the rad and intercooler in my previous post/message).   Currently looking at Fenix $460, Blitz $700, GReddy $800, and KoyoRad $740. What are everyones thought on Fenix ( ive read a few comments saying theyre cheap Chinese rebrands etc and how their build quality is... well.. chinese...)  compared to the others? Worth the extra couple hundies?
    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
