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've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
