hey guys,

had an interesting experiences a few days ago when a guy got startled buy the crashing sound of a falling air conditioner. he got such a fright that his mobile phone flew out of his hands and whacked right into the side of one of my front quoter panels.

now i have a nice little dent that i want to get removed. i heard awhile ago a bout some kind of paintless dent removal, where they use some kind of machine to suck the dent out. dose any one know of a place in Canberra that dose this?

I think it's called the "Dent King". One of my mates knows him, I think he is on the North side of Canberra.

Might be this one, but it only has contact details for QLD - http://www.dentking.com.au/about.htm

There is a place in fyshwick next to capital automotive in kembla st (across from class locksmiths) that does these kind of jobs ... seen a few luxury type cars in there at times getting small dints and stuff repaired

We used the Dent King last year when a shopping trolley hit the Audi and they did a great job.

There was another place from Qld that did some work on our last car, that was organised by Tony Farrugia, they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Not sure if they are still open, but, the Net shows the following:

If it's the guy who was based at Phillip, he did a fantastic job on a friends Falcon.

If you are bored, there are a number of links on the Net for dry ice/dyi method, just Google "dry ice dent removal".

I'm going to purchase some dry ice and give this a try on the Stagea.

The passenger rear door has a number of dents in it, and if this doesnt work, I'll repair and respray the door.

Dry ice is easy go 2 boc gas in fyshwick with a small esky and fill it up but don't fully seal it up cos it let's off gas good 4 sound deadener removal aswell

Correct.

Minimum quantity you can purchase from them is 4kg, costs approximately $33.

Not sure if it works, however, I'm prepared to give it a go.

I'll post results (positive or negative) when I give it a try.

Have some other work to do on the Stagea this weekend so may give it a go then (in between beers)

I tried Dent King for a little dent in the GTR, they told me they don't do aluminium dents?? Let me know if you find out otherwise... apparently it stretches.

Havent heard from you in a while :O . Had dent king do my lhf guard on Saturday. He thought it was aluminium at first, but I told him it was normal steel, as far as I knew. He didn't say anything about not doing aluminium though. Did a good job, would of been good if he had rung the first time he didn't show up though.

Yeah Im slack :D had a real busy race year and finished off with a trip to Thailand, geesh I love that place, thinking seriously about buying over there and living there for 6 months of the year.

Im not going to be racing as 'full on' this year, it was too much travelling.

Is there only one Dent King here now? or more? if so, which was your guy, I might give him a call. Its only a small dent, but it annoys the crap out of me. The Dent King guy I phoned about a year ago def told me NO to aluminium.

I went to www.dentking.com.au . Wasn't the most communicative guy, He didn't ring me the first time he showed. But it was a good fix. Theres a few small dots left in the panel from the repair. Not that I really notice them, said that was because of my respray. (paints soft)

He said theres three companies doing it in canberra, ones just started, so he suggested not to use that mob lol.

A lot of Dent guys won't do aluminium as it work hardens when the impact is made. I work with aluminium, however, it has its limitations and sometimes it just can't be fixed without being painted.

Pity i'm in NSW aye.

      You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎

      Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
