www.upimports.com.au - haven't had any work done personally, but they said they could do a respray for me (not engine) well within your price range there. They've looked after quite a few SAU ppl, but not sure if anyone has had a respray there... but i'm sure Dean or Chris could help you out.

cheers.

oh ok, kool. nice price. Mind if we get the name of the place?  

and if you could let us know how the job turns out that would be tops.... good sprayers seem to be hard to find

cheers.

yes...just like customers who want to pay for a nice job instead of pinching a penny and getting a shamozzle of a job :P

come now Troy, i'm sure the SAU ppl are happy to throw money your way :P, knowing the job they'll get - but in the end of the day, it's a lot of money, so you can't blame ppl for looking around for a good price.

but i do know that resprays aren't something you can f*ck around with tho... seems you should pay as much as you can afford..

My respray

So where'd you get it done and are you happy with it?

The pics make it look good but i've learnt NEVER to trust them and it was dark the last time i saw your car in the flesh (least i THINK it was yours at the meet).

Also if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it?

Oh I couldn't agree more, pics are pretty sucky but yeah that would of been mine at the meeting. Was parked facing the door.

Mine was done as part of a repair so I honestly couldn't tell you what it cost becuase the total price included parts, labour, paint etc etc.

Troy - YLWGTR2 did all my work.

Im not talking about too me....just in general....the amount of work that goes into a job to make sure you get a GOOD LONG lasting finish...thats the key.....its all time and to do a half arsed job wont show up untill 6 mnths later when repairs have all shrunk back,filler 10mm thick has cracked or fallen out or clear is flaking off from not being rubbed properly....this is what you guys have to factor in when talking about getting a good job done....

yeh ill give everyone an update in about 2-3 weeks time wen my car gets finished

wen i went down to visit there shop it seem pruty good to me, they said they all used quality products and show me a car he had resprayed ages ago which was his brothers car it was a small cuppachino with a metallic orange color and the job the looked pruty good to me, but i dont know much about paint i just knew no blotches all smooth body was clean paint was good.

good enough for me for the price they offered cause i went around to some places to many places try to rip you off ranging from 4k -8k for a white repray im like u can get ****..lol

You had to respray the whole car? That isnt the side that was damaged in the photo.

I'm only stirring.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
