I've got OEM front spoiler lips to go on my V35 front bumper... It's in gel coat paint, just need to be painted in factory Nissan KY0 colour.

Have anyone got recommendation a good body workshop to do this around the western (e.g. sunshine) area or inner cbd?

I'm looking for a body panel shop that's not cutting corner or doing a dodgy cut and shut job, rather it be done professionally

with computer colour matching, even though that means I pay extra - that's ok.

GAL smash repairs or MCR?

Primal Garage is a known one, but not sure will be the quality you're after.

A friend owns a top Euro panel beater in Stanley St, West Melb but can't remember the name of the shop...

Is it Dietmar Scheide Eurostyle?

rs73, "anyone used westar before? they're behind bunnings in sunshine?"

I have used them, and i do not recommend them. They charge heaps for a very very average job. I had insurance claim, they told me they were going to use a brand new bar bla bla bla, all they did was re use the old one, painted it, didnt even stick the badge back on, (ford probe). I personality don't recommend them.

My dad used the guys further on, away from Bunnings, they are on the right, as you travel away from bunnings(same road as WESTAR) , and they were really good, but i dont know what they are called.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
