Anyone used any panel and paint shops for a complete glass out panel off respray they have had a good experience with? 

AFM Enterprises have been highly recommended to me, but they're VERY expensive.

Yep that burns

So 24hours after fitting splits in my Ute, had a phone call and the ringtone blew one of the crossovers.

Always something to fix [emoji107]
Achy breaky heart at 250w.? No wonder it split [emoji174]
does this mean you dont want to come pull the dash out of the focus for me?
Saturday morning, about 1 hour after fitting 4 brand new tyres, the fkn heater core shat and spewed hot water all over my feet [emoji20] 8 years and almost 100 000km and NOW it finally breaks something....
Looks likes sneakers or boots all round for Sau safety. I thought ethylene glycol was good for bunions and fungus? 4 x brand new 19x245x35s on the xr8. It's a entire car key inside the tyre/rim. So 5 x new tyres. Ffs.DSC_0199_4(1)(1).JPG

Oh, and @z00keyuses In-Style Collision, they've done really good work with his car.

Would cost a lifetime of reacharounds.

Was virtually a full day to do my Ute and had a few gremlins that appeared in the following days and required more work

So thanks but no thanks

lo I fkn here ya. Got it bypassed for now, but I have to pay someone to fix it, so if you are looking for a cashie for a weekend, let me know.

Things is, I am still not convinced its the heater. A couple of days after changing the coolant, the o-ring on the petcock shat on the radiator dump, and this makes me suspect the o-rings in the heater line even more.

 

fkn cars.

O-rings you say?

Which ones?
I thought it was a good electrical joke? Might be time to bow out gracefully?


My latest multi meter was run over by a Ute months back and is now starting to tell lies. Might order a newbie tomorrow

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
