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 :)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
