Hey guys,

Ive just bought my skyline, she's the old outcast if you know it, and planned to respray her and redo the interior... I love the car, but want to make it my own..

I had planned to start later in the year, but as some a hole decided to change lanes in an intersection and take out most of my passenger side (don't know how you cant see a bright yellow skyline??!!?!) I figure seeing as she is in the shop, I may as well start now.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good spray and/or custom interior place in Adelaide?

Also costs involved if you have personal experience?

Cheers

i am guessing by a good spray your referring to a spray painter?? if so then no personal experience but have had mates go through All Type Crash Repairs and they seem to be very happy.

In regards to getting interior trim done, the only place i have heard off is Willshire "http://www.willshire.com.au/" trimmers.

All Type Crash for Spray painting, haven't used them myself, but hear and see good things.

Interior wise, I suggest Signature Vehicle Interiors, have worked on a certain forum members cars, and the results are awesome.

+1 for willshire

hopefully the side wasnt too badly damaged, doing a whole side respray is big $$ being in the trade and whatnot

He clipped the end of the passenger door, and proceeded to take a shot at every panel on the way back. Pulled a nice number on the wheel arch and my suspension..

I'll definitely check those guys out! Anywhere I can see pics of said members interior?? ;)

Thanks for the info guys

Nvm, realized there was a link! Work looks good, any idea on costs for interior works?

Said forum members interior is shown on that website. Price will depend on material used, and what is being done. Best to email/call to get a quote.

Too easy, thanks a heap for the info

I would highly recommend All Type, have had small bits resprayed by them, Was very satisfied.

What parts of your interior are you looking to re-trim? General price/figures would be dependent on how crazy you would want to go.

ie are you looking to simply re-trim your seats/door panels?

Everything pretty much, depending if I decide on a colour change for the car, the interior is all matching... So door inserts, front and back seats, dash etc, boot setup as well

I did some of my 33 interior myself but had everything else done through Exact Fit in Newton - rear seat, roof lining, door and rear inserts, gear and hand brake boots and sun visors (got them to run red stitching) and the parcel shelf with a custom logo.

I supplied the material for everything bar the roof lining and visors - I bought the material from Velo when I had my Milano seats made (used the same rolls of red and black that Velo used on my seats). This helped to keep the costs down.

The interior was done a few years ago now and I'd have to check to be sure but from memory I paid $1-1.2K for the lot, including all materials (minus the Velo seats). And the quailty of the work is excellent, enough to help the car win awards at Extreme Horsepower 2009, the Skyline Nationals 2010, and recieve a feature in HPI last year.

Attached photos are fairly poor quality but it gives a rough idea.

For comparision sake, the quote from Willshire would've got half the interior done.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
