Recommended Posts

Im looking at buying a R32 gtst and the roof is faded a fair bit, so im gonna see how much it would cost to respray the roof. i was wondering if any one in WA knows of any decent panel beaters/painter for imports south of the river preferably.

or even estimated prices for just the roof and maybe an estimated price for a full car respray in gunmetal grey. I've looked through forums on here but I can only find contacts for spray painters that only do insurance work, I'm looking for people to have that car resprayed/part resprayed that can recommend me some one. Any help would be great

cheers

i got quoted $350 to spray the roof on my car (note NOT a skyline) it is about the same area and the car is a metalic black.

This was a very good pice but i would (with out seeing it) estimate around the $500-ish or so for a quick rub and colour.

Look for a few in your area and check out what type of work they are doing, not the car but how good the finished job is then make your decesion from there.

Schonhut Panel & Paint in Osborne Park is who we use here at work. They have done both cars belonging to the other guys here in the office with me as well as El Presidente's 350Z (fitted and painted bodykit).

9444 3161 worth a call :)

Thanks mate, i gave him a call and was quoted between $700-$1200

then i gave dale a call from daleco P&P in welshpool and was quoted between $900-$1700 depending how bad it was, as they may have to remove the front and rear windows and how far down the side of the panels they will need to blend the paint.

any one had any experience with either of these guys?

When I still had my R33 I got the roof resprayed. It was rubbed down and prepared properly. At the same time I got a GTR spoiler sprayed and fitted. I got all this for $800 from Mel at Assured Smash Repair in Canningvale. He does awesome work. I have also got him to do a full respray on my supra as well as fixing the BMW that got rear ended. Every time he does a second to none job. Would recommend him to anyone.

    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
    • Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.
