Pics From Recent Paint Job! <56k Users Beware>


Recommended Posts

exact same situation with my gf's car when someone hit her. the job was absolute shite and it was obvious. we got in a number of arguments with the panel beater and took it back there at least 10 times threatening if htey didnt fix it we would go to the insurance company. they pleaded with us not to but in the end we did. it was RAC and it was very good. they agreed fully with everything we said. the assessor took the car and said i will call when we are satisfied that it is done properly. they took the car back and told them to fix everything, ended up redoing everything again, including a new bumper, front bar and two front quarters and a new tyre. RAC told us we should have gone straight to them when it wasnt right in the first place.

This is werid,

But it is a dodgey paint job because, they must of used 2pack paint like arcryclic(spell?) paint i'ved noticed this when i had my Pulsar SSS it had Japanese paint but when i went to touch it up etc i would get the result that you have until i got speical paint from oversea's. Japanese cars used better paint job not the 2pack shit we use here.

the paint we have here is fine as long as the probr stuff is used.

Problem is crash shops use cheap shit so that the profits are up.

I occasionaly buy paint and for base coat 2pak group 4 pay approx 180 per liter the stuff they use is prob about 80 bucks home brand crap

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
