If you want, try Freeway Smash Repairs in Osborne Park. They do really good work. They fixed my car up v well, good paint job too..let me know and I'll let him know to expect you?

Not today, the air-con in my skyline doesn't work and I used 1/4 of a tank going to mandurah and back. 

The guy told me i'd have to get a new front skirt (at my cost) and then $600 to paint and fit it, as he won't repair the existing.
Then he wanted $450 to pop the dent under my drivers side mirror, and another $600 to respray the door to match.
Then he wanted $1000 to remove the rear skirt, pop the dent, fiberglass the tear and then respray and fit, or $600 if I supplied him with a new rear bumper, and he would just paint and fit.
 

You can see the dent on the side in the photo attached, have no photos of the rear at the moment.

Yeah, after he went inside, I looked at my friend and said "You're kidding me right?" and he thought it was a good deal.

In other news, I've been quoted a maximum of $500 to fix my Air-Con, roughly $200 + whatever a fan for an R33 would cost (depending on the issue)

Ok, booked the Skyline, and my Lancer in for some Paintless Dent Removal, should be fun.
 

I spoke to three different places and decided to go with Dent Dismissal, as he seemed to be the most knowledgeable after a small discussion over the phone. There was a guy called The Dent Man, who was $50-$100 cheaper, but he basically just said "shouldn't be a problem, will come up good", where as Dent Dismissal gave me more information, "Based on the location, sharpness of the dent i'll have to do X and Y, could take a little longer depending on how it comes up, I've not worked on that car before so I don't know how long it'll take blah blah".

Will let you all know how it goes.

Mother in laws passport should be ready any day. We spent the money we had put aside on the house. Getting a bit of overtime lately so it's still possible but my wife said on the weekend she would like to go for New Years instead so I'm not sure what will happen

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
