Hello,

My rear spoiler is unpainted but primed. It's ready to be mounted but I want to get it painted first.

I already know my cars colour code, GV1 Black.

I just want to ask where I could get it painted properly near Sydney 2155

Are there car painting companies? Do smash repairs do this?

What about those ones that say they do colour code touch up painting?

And also, if anyone had any previous paint work done similar to my situation

maybe somewhere near The Hills area, Seven Hills or Blacktown.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah, GV1 is Black Pearl according to the Paint Codes in SAU forum.

I've never had any car painting done before so I was unsure of where to have it done.

I just wanted to know the type of places that offer painting services.

I didn't want to go, for example, to a car mechanic and ask for painting.

Going to get quotes from nearby panel shops soon. thumbsup.gif

Still looking for other peoples stories on their car spoiler/bumper painting with the company you did it with, what part, if they did a good or bad job, etc.

I'm curious, How do they match the colour code anyway? GV1 - Black Pearl seems to only be a skyline colour. wacko.gif

I resprayed the spoiler of a vr-x lancer today, matched the metallic from the code under the bonnet. Really good job. As I said, any panel beaters have the ability to respray stuff, and would only charge a couple of hundred to do the job..

yeah any panel beater/smash repair shop can do it really. Your car has a blue plate in the engine bay with the paint codes that the body shop will then use to match the paint, simple as that

Howd it turn out mate?

Went to a few panel beaters for quotes..

One said $400

Another said $500

Went to carmate $200 so I was like GO GO GO

Turns out the piece of crap spoiler I ordered sucked. It wasn't made properly. The legs were screwed onto the spoiler a bit too narrow.

So I need to also pay for fitting. Carmates price for Painting and Fitting was $350

When they started painting, I looked up carmate reviews online saying that carmate sucks. So I got worried.

But it turned out good. They matched the colour and handled the fitting very well but at the cost of $350. Well anyways.. Thx Carmate thumbsup.gif

If I wasn't in such a rush, I would of tried X Racing Motorsport and Team JetSpeed to get more quotes. Some good reviews for them.

afaik, from what i've read on carmate reviews the issue is with the products they source rather than their painting & fitting. But really anything with fibreglass body parts, chances are you're gonna need some custom fitting to make it sit right.

personally I had an old GTR style spoiler on my old GTT supposedly bought from carmate (I bought it off a guy on the forums) & it was fine, had it painted by a local shop & fitted it myself with no issues

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
