Hi All,

Just thougt I'd share my experience...

I wanted to give my car a freshen up, as the paint want in the best nick and was annoying me. So after some research and the help of SAU I found Vu (evilsub) from DT Panels in Springvale.

Went down to see him and chatted about what I wanted and what his thoughts were about the car and got the ball rolling. I have to say that dealing with Vu was a pleasure, its good to finally meet someone in the car business who's not a money hungry idiot for once. Everything was exactly as he said it would be, and I think they did an amazing job.

My car was black.... and I decided to change it to VW R32 Deep Pearl Blue and added GTR front bar, as I didnt want anything too wild, also decided I'd get rid of the spoiler while I was at it.

Anyways,

Here are some pics of the whole thing,

This is before - kinda looks like its good for parts!

Looks awesome! Vu and the team down at DT Panels do great work every time!

In fact my car is down there right now getting the DT treatment :D I'm going to pick it up later today woohoo!

I'd recommend people who are looking for work done go to speak with Vu because he's a real perfectionist with his work and shares a love of cars like us too ;)

CEF11E Haha - told you they would look ok :P

I've seen that blue GTR in the Dandenong area, thats not me though, in the flesh my car is darker, thats more a bayside blue (and not a GTR :down: )

Thanks for the comments, when I went to pick the car up my jaw just fell open... I was like um wow

As for Vu doing it all for so cheap, I dunno either, but i'll keep seeing him while his work is this good!

Cheers

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
