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.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
