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.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
