So my car has been in a minor accident front guard, Bumper, have been replaced i have also took it to a guy and i have decided to do the full paint job windows out + repair etc (G & S Bodyworks Yennora) his name is Gus. Has quoted around the 4k mark for a full cut down window out re-spray.. plus repaairing the damage. THis includes the after market seals front and back.

How is the price? A i getting ripped?he seems to tell me his actually doing a good pric for me and normally it would be over the 5 k mark

depends how much damage but yes that sounds like a good price.. depends on the quality of the job getting done to though..

Too many variables and missing details to say definately..

Do you mean a FULL respray of your WHOLE car with windows out?

If it is, plus repairs, 4k seems reasonable.

A good&cheap full respray with windows out nowadays is worth like 3-3.5k

A full respray should cost more than that alone.

I am pretty fussy but i would baulk at a full paint job and repairs for $4k. Myself i would be expecting closer to $10k for a quality job. But thats just me, i dont like decent work, i like it to be top quality

If Peter at Bodyform uses them they must be decent, though i thought Peter did all the work himself usually? Or does he just use these guys for paint?

Sounds like a very decent price, very cheap for a window out job with repairs.

A half decent window out job will easily be over 5k at most places, it all depends on how they get the car and what work is required, a car pre prepped will cost a lot less.

The places where you see full resprays for like 3k arnt window out jobs, I work in the 'trade' and I have seen some poor paint jobs and great paint jobs and 3k wont get you much especially if you have repairs. It helps if you know someone as most shops will try to rip you off if your just a random.

I would research this place or see some of his work and make sure he knows that if there is something not done right he has to fix it.

Mine has just gone undergone a full respray windows out, every dent scratch all new seals front lip repaired etc etc

That has just cost me $9k :)

You gets what you pays for though!!

I hate runs in paint or in-perfections etc I could of gone cheaper but at what cost...

So yeah $4k sounds good lets just hope its a good finish...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
