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.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
