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.

there were some recent threads, ylwgtr2 mentioned one place in airport west. kamikazier33 was after a good respray place, ylwgtr2 said those guys in airport west, try a search in vic general auto

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..

:werd: In my opinion you always get what you pay for, unless you paint job has a big Nike, Sony or Deesil logo on it :P

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 can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
