Ok J Racing is out lol

Farrugia or Barrett Bros you say...

I have new options - any horror stories at Canberra Automotive Refinishers, Craig Hall, or Real Steel Restorations? (Never heard of the last one). These are Shannon's preferred repairers.

My s13 was done at J Racing. I didn't own it at the time but the work wasn't the best.

In J Racings defense, I did speak to Jerry, he is a nice guy. He said he varies quality depending on how much people can afford. Anyway, I'm hopefully taking my S13 back to get fixed up simply because he'll be able to source bits and pieces easier.

I had a little work done by Craig Hall. I don't like their Customer Service. Work was standard, nothing special.

Yes, Canberra Automotive Refinishers in Belco are Shannons Recommended.

Although they did Fix up their Mistakes, they are Not Recommended by me. :/

Unless you want Wet Paint and an Orange Peel Finish.

What happened Shell? Did you get baby puke on the Chaser?

That stuff is Highly Corrosive. :laugh:

It's just panel damage so it could be worse (pic in NSW whore thread if you want a look ;) ).

I should say, we can pick anywhere. Just got the list of preferred places because we don't really have a favourite or "known" place to go.

Everyone I know with cars whether it be hot rods, porches, muscle cars etc, all recommended Farrugia and Barrett Bros

Highly recommend Farrugia for work they did on both our Audis and on our BMW. Problem with them is they generally won't work on older cars. Tried to get them to do some work on the GTR but no dice.

+1 to Real Steel. Naz does lovely quality work and that's who I use for the GTR

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
