i work at a crash repairer and i can tell you it is not cheap. would be cheaper staying the same colour than changing the colour. doing the engine bay will add alot more money to the job too.

so how many slabs of beer will it take to have you respray the nose of my car, just touch up stuff and a ding , I dont have the gear here to do a proper job or the clean area to do it.lol

you should never mention skills, maybe would could trade skills if you need anything done..?

Car Cosmetics at Lonsdale they are awsome and very well priced ...

Im going to say it and i dont care if it gets taken down or what ever.

That dude is shit, plain and simple. He done my GTR, had some rust where the rear right mudflap screws to the body. I told him i wanted it cut out and sprayed as i will keep the car for a while, and i had to go through regency (for an unrelated defect but i dont want dodgy shit) I got it back and was just full of fiber fill, topped off with bog and painted. I confronted him about it and he didnt want to have a bar of it and said i told him to fiber fill it, haha ok what ever.

I ended up going to extensive restorations at lonsdale, they cut the inner and outer skin out and made new ones and welded it in, much better. Cost the same amount as bringing to BOGmetics too.

If you want someone skilled in the art of bog sculpting go to car cosmetics, i think its all he knows.

To save making another thread.....anyone got a rough idea on how much it will cost to get the holes in the front guards for the side indicators covered (Preferably metal as they are standard guards)?

Best to just take them to a local welding shop and ask them if they will do a cashy. it shouldn't take them long to do, should only cost an hour or two of labour. Then just give them to paint shop and they will be able to bog them up and smooth them out.

Performance Spray Painting & Crash on stanbel rd, salisbury plains.

They just did my HR31, new roof skin, closed doors respray but colour change, some old front damage fixed, welded up holes in boot and where antenna was, rust cut out behind tail light = $5200 (including remove + replace all windows and seals)

I used to work there and only ever saw top quality work in that place. The owner, George is a gun spray painter with some of the best blending/colour matching skills ive ever seen. And doesnt charge through the asshole.

Has sprayed plenty of old classics and show cars too

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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)?
