Hey guys,

searched through the consolidated workshop thread for panel and paints shops to find most numbers were no longer connected or only do insurance jobs now.

If anyone can recommend a good panel and paint shop with a proven track record among the peeps, would be much appreciated, need some work done.

Cheers :)

I've used Auto Accident Repair Centre in Midland many time is the past and they do great work, but aren't the cheapest. My dads LS400 is in there atm after he bumped his door parking pinch.gif . My mate has also used them on his stag recently too, done a great job.

Please advise which shops are no longer operational and I'll remove them from the Consolidated Thread.

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
