Hi all,

Yes, I know that this topic has been started 100 times. And yes, before you say it I know that there is the workshop listing stickied in the SA section.

However, none of the previous topics or the recommended workshops satisfy my query.

In short, I have substantial damage to one of my rear guards (dent about 20mm deep about the size of a small football) right on the body line of a 32.

Each thread I searched through had a recommendation for crash repairers of some type, quickly followed by a person coming along and saying "don't use XXXX. They're crap" or the like.

As you could understand, this becomes frustrating as all my previous workshops I have used I have had issues with their work. I want the job done PROPERLY first time. Do it once, do it properly!

Is there any recommendations which people can make (or PM me with!) about getting these problems with my car sorted?

Cheers,

David

located in southern or northers suburbs, looking for a cash job or wanting a crash repair shop?

everyone is going to say good and bad things about all crash shops due to crash shops cant keep EVERYONE happy.

best bet is do some research, get some quotes, have a look at the workshops if your really fussy. sometimes you need to pay thru the nose to get a quality job, as cheap jobs normally end in bodyfiller.

just my 2c, if you have any more q's pm me

seriously elizabeth paint and pannel ask for pat, done once and very right couldnt recomend him enough

another is a very good workshop kilburn crash had work done by both these places and the best by far and ive been everywhere it seems , ur right tho many places have a good rep from one bloke then another comes along and says dont personal experiances are hard to work out sometimes but ive been to both these place i speak of at least twice each.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
