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! :)

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
