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 :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
