and if anyone knows someone in melbourne that can do it cheap, cos i was quoted $1300 today and i couldnt believe it

1300 isnt that expensive. alot goes into preparing a kit to be sprayed. alot of sanding, filling etc. i had a front bar and sides skirts painted for $450 but i did all the prep work saving heaps but it took hrs of time.

u might be able to get it down to 1k but your getting a whole kit done

i'm going to be getting some things sprayed, actually a lot sprayed now i think about it.

front/rear bumpers. spoiler, and rear quarters (to cover up the fugly holes left by the fugly rear spoiler) but i'm most probably gonna get a freebie :) - that aside, what's involved in prep work and can anyone do it or should you leave it to the pros? I've never done any sanding type stuff ever before.

cheers.

EDIT: Pashak, do you need stuff done right now? I might be able to hook you up (not free, sorry!) at least give you a contact. Place is North Melbourne, off kingsway, pretty much CBD.

SS8_Gohan: yeah that what be great, i want it sprayed asap, details would be appreciated...

i will do all the preping myself, all i need is the highfill done and paint in tupac black

i might even do the highfill myself, if i can get my hands on an aircompressor

how much do u think it'll cost if i do the prep and highfill myself??

cos then all that needs to be done is paint, that should work out a hell of a lot cheaper...

The sanding part is easy,you need a good eye for a nice even sanded surface,for detail mostly and not be a slacker.....Im thinking about a full respray after i get my kit as there are a few touch ups arround the car and i think with a freshly sprayed kit/car it will make the car look good...

Interesting topic guys, just got my car back from getting my 400r front and rear fitted, prepped and sprayed...

The kit to get sprayed was:

$400 for front bar including indicator fit

$300 for rear

$100 for pods

Heres a pic of the finished job... Only 4 hours after getting the car back :D

hey guys, so sorry for the delay

mb# is 0411 145 145 - Name is Dietmar (i think that's how you spell it, pronounced 'Ditmar', he's Austrian) - It's relatively new workshop as he's moved from his old one. Tell him 'Daniel Chin' referred you.

I was told $350 for a panel, just for a spray. But like lwells was saying, he would have to see the panels first, so Pashak, you'd have to show him your handy work, see if everything is up to scratch :D

Seems like a decent price, and we might be able to organise something a little better.

cheers,

daniel.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
