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

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
