Hi All,

I just thought I'd share my awesome experience with Michael / MiColour after a terrible 4 months dealing with my insurance company.

Basically, I got hit with the Xmas day hail on my R33. After making a claim with my insurer, inspection after inspection, I was getting nowhere. Michael went in to bat for me and after 4 long, painful months (where I got to the point that I was over the car and my insurance company) Michael got the final insurance inspection done and my car was approved for repair.

So after a few weeks, the car was ready. Pulling into MiColour, I was blown away!!! Closer inspection revealed the paint was unbelievably perfect! All the dings from the hail gone! The colour is awesome just how Nissan intended it to be. I also had Michael fix the front bar and it looks fantastic. Michael even fixed some damage that must have been done when the car was in Japan and re-aligned my boot!

If you need some paint work done, MiColour should be at the top of your list. Most body shops want your car in and out, at the expense of workmanship. But Michael has pride in the work he does. I can't express how happy I am and have a reinvigorated passion for my car!

After a disastrous 4 months, all is now great! I will post some pics up in the next day or so.

Shop details are in my sig...

Ha! I was in there last week and this weekend ( I had a small love tap 2 weeks ago on punt road) now that I am with Shannons they just asked where do you want to take it. said Micolour straight away.

I'm guessing yours was the black one? I saw the bonnet and I said to michael I couldn't believe it had hail damage on it!

He truely is a top bloke, always putting clients first. I dropped my car off there on Saturday for an assesment today -already been done and he is currently working on it, hopefully have it back on Wednesday night. Crazy good service.

Good stuff mate, I'm sure i'll be as happy as you.

When I get it back I was going to ask if I could have a checky peek at ur 31 Ash :)

Mick is a champion. Cast your eye on my now white 32 shell while your down there Adam if you haven't been already - I get goosebumps thinking about it.

Other panel shops might assure you this and that will be done properly but don't always come through with the goods. You know you can trust Mick will deliver on his promise and he's a good bloke to boot. Couldn't count the hours he has spent taking me through all the work he has done on my thing.

Finally took a couple of pics...

The roof and bonnet had some major dings... The front bar was pretty much hacked for the IC and had plenty of driveway damage...

Wow, nice result! Certainly reasssuring given that I'm getting Mick to fix some minor damage on our Subaru (no sn1ggering up the back). If all goes well he'll most likely be painting the Skyline too, if it turns out as well as yours I'll be stoked! :)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
