meh, depends where u go

when i was looking for panel beaters to get my dings fixed, got quotes from a heap of places, they were all busy and would take at least a month to fit me in

found camerons at coopers plains

got us in the next week

had the car back in 2 days

they were also the cheapest quotes of all the places we went to

very happy with their work

Agree with this one,

they painted my mates pulsar that one best paint at Jambo...good workmanship and no bull (please ignore pedders pun cause I think they are shit...)

Oh and G&J Smash at Kedron are good also, have a had a few mates cars go there...

But you have to remember that 90% of panel beaters these days are the dumbshits that use to get stoned at school...go figure

yeah.. know the feeling.. when somebody hit my car in melb.. for one guard and a front bar they said "2 weeks at most" .. some 8 weeks later !!! i got it back.. but they did do a very good job so they're slightly excused.

In a way thats almost why i had to get another car. When the r33 is in the shop getting sexified again. I just needed something to get me to the gold coast each day, as who knows how long it will take. You can't be without a car for like weeks.

lol you aint seen nothing

i put my car in about 3 months ago, was told ide get it back in a few weeks.. then a few weeks after that.. then a few weeks after that etc etc

been told to come get it this afternoon.. i hope :)

its stuffed me around too, i wouldnt mind if i didnt have things to get done before the skyline cruise on the 17th.

owell, shit happens

is this this "cruising panel shop" ??

if he is the type that stuffs people around i'll take it elsewhere. As I was thinking of going to him next 2 weeks or so. He sounded good on the phone.

How much work was he doing with your car? was it replacement panels, etc?

i really just need painting and sideskirts fitting.

hes good man, just been really busy, theres always heaps of cars there, hes done heaps of skylines/supras etc

for damage repairs he is really cheap too.

I had to get front right control arm replaced, front right quarter, right door and right rear panel resprayed. Bonnet realigned, new headlights installed.. new sideskirts sprayed and fitted and same with front bar.

most of it didnt HAVE to be done, but i did it so it all looks nice :/

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
