Hey guys, can anyone recommend a good panel beater or repairer in the south eastern suburbs. Was involved in an accident tonight... my front quarter panel, head light and rear quarter are damaged, but there may be more hidden. :) Not happy at all

YEP, I can DEFINITELY recommend SUPERFINISH, just near the corner of south rd and warrigal rd (also on Cochrains rd) Moorabbin.

I went there through my insurance company, and the job was even better than I hoped it would be....

I had my front right guard damaged and my bumper skin...

They resprayed both, and rather than just blending the bumper and bonnet, they re-sprayed them both....

So now my car looks better than it did before the accident...

I just got a courtesy call from them 2 days ago asking if I was happy with the job, and if there are any problems I have noticed that they can fix...

I was VERY surprised that did this considering it was through insurance...

Anyhow, I did notice a week later, that the front left guard was not blended properly with the bumper and bonnet (guy must have missed it)...

So when I told him, he said to bring it in, and they will fix it up for me...

Now this is the kind of service I like, and the kind I like to reward by taking any of my future business to these guys, and by HIGHLY recommending them to others...

Speak to Greg or Con, ad tell them George with the Pearl Red R33 sent you, as he was impressed with not only the workmanship but also the service.

I took my car to about 5 places when I was getting quotes, and half of them didn't notice it was pearl paint and quoted metallic, others didn't want to blend things in, etc. Greg was VERY attentive to detail, and picked up a few things even I didn't notice (and I'm a very fussy bastard)...

They told me it would take no more than 8 working days, and they had it back to me in 6

Anyhow, that's my experience with them, hope it helps

My son works at Berwick Motor Body Repairers which is actually on the highway in Officer just after the freeway finishes. They fixed one of our cars and it seems ok.Worth a try since you're not far.

Thanks for the recomendations, i would have tried them but i got a really good quote today at Glen Waverly Panels, my friend is good mates with the owner and recommended him. I've bought a front guard and new headlight, and they are going to beat out the rear quarter, front bar and the corner tip of the bonet and fully respray the rear panel, side door, front guard, front bar and bonet. On top of that for a little extra they're going to touch up, detail and completely respray the other side of the car as well so the paint will match :P. They said it will take approx 12 days so i'll let you know how it goes, but so far i'm very impressed. The car wasn't too badly damaged at all but it still burnt a hole in my pocket.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
