I've tried called many times since early december but figured they closed for chrissy. I've tried again but nothing, anyone know when they go back? Also just while i'm here, anyone had experience with them? Like how you have to take the car to them? What the process is? just for interest i'll guess i'll find out after i get through to them.

Ps. I know the experience question has been asked before just thought i'd through it in so please dnt be a forum nerd and have a sad because you thought i didn't 'search'. haha :banana:

cheers all.

hey dude, I've done 2 years in tafe first pre app in autobody refinishing then another year as mature age trade certificate this was in 1998. If its anything like what it was then I'd have to say exactly what are you looking for do want a show finish, forget it then, if want all panels that have been removed to sit right again then forget it, if you want your prep work done well forget it,

However if your looking for just an average job yeah it's ok, will do, its not that cheap too, back then it cost a full repray around $1300-$1800. so if your not fussed too much yeah its ok if you want heads turning nah, if you go ahead with it remove all valueables from the car including cds, coins etc.

Another thing would be time, It will take longer to spary aswell for inexperience is a problem. Best bet will be to ask when the 3rd year apprentices are comming there not too bad and will do a half decent job

Yeah man i just want the thing painted i'm not fussed about the 'show car' job, and i'm willing to do a bit of prep but would i be like gap filling and everything too? i thought they did it as apart of their 2 week course of a full respray on a car??

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
