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 :/

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
