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 have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
