I'm looking for a shop to have my bonnet resprayed before auto salon as it's a little tired and I don't think a cut and polish will do any good, looks like it's fairly deep. I'm after a good quality shop in the South Eastern Suburbs as I'm in Knox and any info like what work you had done, price and if you were happy.

Anyone have a rough idea what a bonnet respray is worth?

-Cheers :uh-huh:

I work just down the road from on duty panels and have seen many a nice paint job emerge from there. I would make a decision fast coz they seem to be very busy as I see them try to jigsaw puzzle all the cars in every night.

They are in Sunshine.

P.S. ylwgtr2: Is that your car with the black tail lights? Sweet ride.

There are a few places in Bayswater, and also Ringwood.

I got one of my guards resprayed at a place in Baysie, did a good job of matching and the like and only took 2 days to get it back..

I can thoroughly recommend George at Euroimage in Cheltenham, not the cheapest but the only panelshop that has had repeat business from me, and I am one fussy mofo!! :):D

That was a joke! They sent me one that was the wrong style, then I had to send it back. Then they sent me a new one, ther right type.....with a big chip out of the resin so I had to send that back too. After 4 months I asked for a refund and spend it on performance not rice :cheers:

I'm quite interested in what you come up with, cos i'm trying to find out costs on Full resprays as well as good places to go. UPI quoted $2250 for a full respray, nothing special tho.

anyways, good luck in the search

oh... shit dude, so sorry for not replying to ur PM. That's the EXACT car i'm looking for. Altho for $34K it's quite cheap as that colour started in 2000, altho the site doesn't actually saw what yr the car is. 2000 R34 GT-T in TV2, $34K is a real good price but unfortunately more than i wanna spend (Hoping about $28k on the road, with respray). But thanks so much for sending us the link tho!

SS8_Gohan - Yeah saw it and thought you might like it.

I spoke to my old man and what do you knoe he had his 4WD resprayed a couple of weeks ago by a spraypainter that just does spray work. Dropping it over on Thursday night. He's gonna rub it back first with wet and dry to see what he can do but if it's too far gone then he'll just re-spray! Fingers crossed :rofl:

Thanks for all the help guys, much appreciated!:wavey:

Adzmax, could you tell me the details of the shop/guy who is looking at your car?

I am in the market for a full OUTSIDE/OUTER respray and live in the country and have no idea of any decent places in melb to go for a respray. Especially ones that don't want $3000 to do it!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.
