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

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
