Someone smashed into my GTR last night and im absolutely spewing, its the fist accident the car has ever seen in 20 years :( im a perfectionist and want it returned to perfect.

I only need one quote so i want to take it to the best place in vic (im not to fussed were it is). Is there a place that specialises in imports or something?... or maybe exotic/expensive cars?. lol

if your with just cars i recommend sheen panels city road south melb

or use micolour there supporters of sau vic and there work cant be faulted by all reports i think they will be highly recommended on here

if your looking for somewhere that does exotics.. i quite often see ferrari's, mercs etc getting fixed in Carpenters Body Works in heidelberg west

never used them, but have heard they are top notch

Yep, Micolour would be my choice too. Just recently did the front end on my Gtr and I couldn't be happier. Mick really knows his way around imports, attention to detail and quality of work is amazing.

Cheers.

Lol this is starting to sound like a Micolour preaching thread but there is a reason for that :P

another +1 for Micolour and I couldn't agree more with this comment:

Really looked after my car the way I would if I was doing the work myself

I know there is a lot of love for MiColour here, but has anyone had smash repairs done?

Meaning, f**ked up front end, f**ked rear guards, bought back to better than new?

Or is most of the work just restorations / touch ups / resprays etc?

...This is just a genuine question.

There are good sprayers and there are good smash repairers, rare it is to find one in the same.

IE. Show me a f**ked up sorry excuse for a write off and show me the final product. I am just interested thats all :D

:)

We got a rear accident r33 gtr at sheen on city rd. So far they have been idiots as they ordered the rear bar in the day we dropped it off. Now it will take a month to come in. Only complaint so far. But all will be forgotten when i see they have done a good job

Charlie Battisti panels in Nunawading (they do all of BMW Australia repairs and have BMW loan/hire cars)

one of THE best ANYWHERE in oz - this would be the 'money is no consideration' option, which seems you have as they've said you can take it anywhere.

+1 DT panels

:):D

There have been quite a few cars repaired after some big damage after wall 'encounters' @ places like Sandown etc etc

& I'm talking half a car down a wall requiring all sorts of jig & cutting/welding work.

That'd be upto the owners to go into detail about though if they wanted, not my place to do it :)

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
