3 and a half sounds quite cheap, but it also sounds like a window in job, and everything is taped up, i dont think and of the doorjams would be done either or the engine bay so u would still be stuck with the yellow paint being on the inside also. (not sure if they quoted to do the doorjams also but be careful)

if your looking for a decent job, windows out and door jams done be prepared to pay around the 7-8 thousand mark as an approximate, this can include any dents u may have in the vehicle, this still wouldnt include the engine bay tho unless the engine is already out.

all prices do vary from shop to shop so go around and see who offers what and see if u can work out a good deal by working of the shops to see who can do the best for you.

hope this helps in your search for a new paint job (if u have any Q's feel free to pm me):thumbsup:

$3.5k wont include door jambs, but you shouldn't really need them done if you're keeping the car the same colour. These areas don't fade as there's no sunlight to bleach the paint. As buzz350 said, you'd be looking at around $8k for a colour change. There's heaps more stuffing around in removing and refitting panels/doors/glass etc

Just for refrence I picked up my 32 last week with a single change in colour.

I paid $10k (door jambs done, windows out and NOT the engine bay). But being in the ACT you get the high cost on most things..

Captive market without to many shops you would take your car too.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
