hey guys,

thanks

I use alpha one panel and paint in Osborne Park, good guy and has helped me on respraying bottoms of bumpers just before shows etc etc.... pay in cash and has been VERY cheap and good work....

HOWEVER..... it would be grea to get a well kinda like a group buy at a panel beater! most of us use one of the 2 tuners in here (SST or Hyperdrive) as they look after us, would be great if we have any panel beaters to be our main skyline choice of repairer!!

CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP US BY OFFERING VERY CHEAP PRICES! I am sure by the way some of us drive our lines frequent business would be achieved by offerin very cheap prices with good work!

Nah i think it's HOWE street, near WA suspension...

Bugger i never knew they had new owners, i was friends with the old owners daughter! as IMACUL8 mentioned was a great guy!

Hmmm might have to see what they can do....

Precision Panel and Paint, Bayswater. They do top class work and I have used their services for over 12 years. They are registered repairers and also do warrantty work for Peugeot, Citrroen and Ford.

Hey - this is from SAUWA member Scags (Jarred) -

My Dad owns and manages one of Perth's leading Panel & Paint shops:

Gino's Panel & Paint http://www.ginos.com.au/ in Freo. They mostly do

insurance work, but do some private work.

Quality wise they are second to none. They have the latest tools

technologies and techniques. Price wise however, they are not the

cheapest around. This is a definite reflection of the quality though.

At the moment there is no special deal for members as the shop is quite busy. But have a look at the website or give them a call.

My brother owns and operates a panel & paint shop and i would highly recommend him. Its only a small shop but his work is excellent and he has put out several show cars including a harlequin twin turbo V6 commodore that is going to be in motivation this weekend. Details:

Impact Panel & Paint

Owner: Sean Booy

Ph: 9248 2086

Address: Unit 5 / 27 Truganina Rd Malaga

Is he prepared to do a cheap deal for SAUWA members? Basically i have an insurance job which has to be done.. and more than happy to put to anyone as i'm not paying... but i have a few scratches and a front bar repair to do too.. if he wants both bits of work and the price is right....

Personally i reckon that if someone jumps on board and gives decent prices too SAUWA members.. he'll get a HEAP of repeat business. Its hard to find any car work thats both reliable and well priced. You dont know who to trust

well said damono, you don't know who to trust which is the issue now a day.

With someone who is a panel beater about to get a sh*t load of business from SAU we definately want to know that we will be getting THE BEST PRICE and an AWESOME JOB.

Tragic - if your bro can make some sort of arrangement it looks like he already has about 4 cars in line to getstarted on and as always word ofmouth will spread very quickly through SAUWA providing that we can get a very good price and quality.... please keep us up to date with how it goes would be great for him and SAUWA

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
