If I need to get my rear quarter panel sprayed to get rid of some scratches, I was wondering how this is done.

Because of the design of the r33's (and all skylines) there is not actual join where the spray can stop cos the panel continues onto the roof and all over to the oher side of the car.

How is this done, would they stop somewhere and try to "blend" it into the orig paint?

Has anyone had this done? If so, how does it look?

Surely this doesn't mean tht half of the car needs to be sprayed to fix one quarter Panel!!!??

Okay yes they do blend it in that is one of the most common ways to do it and the best looking in one way or another. Depends on what colour the car is as well as over time paint fades etc which would show up on a black car for example. Most cases the darker the car the worse it will show up. With white cars its usally very hard to spot it.

over time we are talking over a couple years 2-3 or so depends how much time it spends in the hot sun. Its not bad that your car is black just its more possible for it to turn up (no spray painter can guarantee) it could or it might not be visible. They usually spray most of the rear quarter panel eg. half the car they usally stop before they get to the roof section.

Keeping your car out of the hot sun when parking etc also helps and keeping it polished and waxed up helps protect it abit.

Personally a silver car would be more of a problem hence the fact they have multiple colours etc in the silver paint which is almost impossible to match perfectly, which usally can show up after the spray has been done with a silver car blend if you look carefully.

How bout this dilemma,

Youve just had ure entire car resprayed in a nice silver/blue pearl. 2 days later, the person that lives next door, reverses into your rear 1/4.

Now, do you just get the rear 1/4 done, or, do u get both rear 1/4s done as well as the roof, as this will leave no blending marks.

I wasn't impressed to say the least.

Dude sorry to hear that. I was speaking to the guys where u got the paint job done (in penrith). Were u happy with the result?

If I were u I would be speaking to the guys that did your paint job and get their opinion. If its not too bad then u might be lucky and they will blend it. But either way i would be making the neighbour pay for it.

FK oath they'll be paying...the dude said he would, so ill give him a call tomorrow with the quote...better not cause me problems...meh anyway...

Ive actually been away since i got my car back and havn't gone thru *everything* yet. Ive given it a quick look over and its been great. Top work done by Trev and I'd easily say hes been the best sprayer ive dealt with (both quality craftsmanship and attitude/personality etc). Ill be dropping it off there tomorrow so if ure close, go down and take a look....If not i can email u pics that ive taken (not the best, but may give u an idea...). I'd go back without a doubt and all future cars ill put through him as well.

sounds about right.

im planning on getting my front bar, mirrors, rear bar, and now maybe rear quarter done. freshen it up, and i scraped my front car which is the main reason ;)

What colour is your car? i need some bits done and if its the same colour as mine we could get it cheaper together.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
