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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
