I'm in need of a touch up guy as the rear corner of my metalic silver stagea had some loving by an inconsiderate bastard in a carpark

just the rear corner of the bumper - no other panel damage

i might if he/she/they have a bit of extra paint made up i might request a fix to the small scuff on the front bar where the previous owner said hello to a kerb in another parking lot, nice to neaten it up.

if you are a touch up bloke (not a bloke touching up) or know of a good guy who can fix it and not make it stand out like dogs balls on a hot day shoot me a pm or feel free to recommend places to call.

car is in the Nth suburbs but i can take it to work (mitcham area) if need be during the day.

I'd like to get it fixed soon as my fiancee feels responsible because it was under her care at the time. she cries when she sees it and then it becomes annoying...

Thanks

Dan

Try a mob called "ChipsAdelaide" - I used them on my S15 a few years back (when they were still known as Chips Away) and did a good job at a great price.

Yep ... I've let my little lady drive my Stagea a handful of times, and the odd scuff on the car has been her :D

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
