Hey guyz i was washing my car with my high pressure cleaner and i ripped off some paint on my sideskirt :| Do you guyz know any good places in the South, South-Eastern suburbs where i can get it done without a huge pricetag. I also need to paint the Skyline on the back cuz some paint is comin off at the bottom. Auto Innovations quoted me around $230. That seems a little expensive for such a small job. Help would be appreciated

Thx, Chris

i have a better idea....why dont you go and buy some 2k primer,hardener,sand paper,prepsol,tackrag and some 2k paint and hardener and paint it yourself....Then you might.....a)Totally **** the job up......b)Realise that the materials that you would buy would way out cost the price that you were originally quoted.....the thing you guys really have to realise is that business is not a charity and the guy is not going to get rich from doing that job.......$230 is peanuts these days,some people would easily torch that on a night out on the grog.....Most shops may not even touch the job or wont spend the time needed for a nice job coz there just aint enough money in it....just take it and get it done or put up with it

have to agree with troy on that one... having been a panel beater i know how little these jobs bring in... make on mistake on it and have to start again and u end up losing money it which is why a lot of these places pass them up.

There is a place in town that is awesome, 'Mirror Finish'

fantastic work! Makes the price tag worth it at least, got a spolier done their for $250.

If you say you were sent there by 'car shine' they'll treat the job like it was their own car.

      I honestly wouldn’t bother with this. They don’t hold up under any serious strain. Get the Blackline (Chinese fake Quaife) if anything, as it’s reported to perform pretty well.

      Asking where to source parts

      For future reference, I believe all that Amayama does is act as a middleman between you and Nissan. Go to your local dealership, ask nicely for a parts account (I get 15% off with mine) and you'll get better pricing. Cheers,

      V35 Skyline possible engine swaps?

      By Blakeo · Posted

      Hi guys, I have a 2005 V35 skyline with the vq35de.  It is a drift car and has been stripped, its now running a standalone ECU and a body harness. Dash everything has been changed to a digital dash controlled by ecu.  The vq35de has been great, very reliable but wanting more HP atm the 35de is making 228rwhp. I'd like to be making about 350rwhp. From my research it looks like a vq25det lightly modified could be a good engine to swap in. I understand the CD trans will bolt up right to the vq25det with a 35de sump used.  My only issue is a wiring harness/ecu to control the vq25det, from what i've found the ecu is a lot different to the vq35de so my plugin for the 35de will not work. Is there any potential to use the vq35de wiring harness and modify as necessary to retain the plugin ecu?  Keen to hear what you guys think, or am I best off to chuck on a cheap turbo kit on the 35de and see how long it lasts.

      Oh sorry Justin! I was racking my brain trying to remember names, not sure why I associated “Adam” with 7tune! I’m good, been away from Skylines for over a decade, got family and kids now. Just getting back into owning a 32 but it’s a whole different world now… tax is higher and tech is better.

      Who's Adam? Hehe 😁All good mate, it's Justin. Been good! And you? The HCR32 is looking sweet by the way! Love the very neat Nav install.  I would love to get one but I'm at a crossroads right now and can't commit to another car.
