I am looking for a comapny with experience fitting fibreglass bodykits, but I'm not looking at spending thousands of dollars (ie. $840.00 to paint and fit a pair of side skirts) at one of the big name crash repairers.

I have a front bar, side skirts, rear bar, side mirrors and bonnet to paint and fit. Everything is currently fitted to my car, however the side skirts and rear bar require some work. Depending on price, I can paint and fit the bonnet and front bar myself. The car was originally two tone, so I also need to have the doors sprayed (as there is a dark grey strip across the bottom of each door).

So, please recommend any places you have been happy with. List what you have had done, how much it set you back and how happy you were with the result.

Oh, and if the place is looking for some publicity, I am willing to wear stickers on my car for a few months (including at Autosalon) in exchange for a good price.

I am also the MD of a web development company, so if you know of any crash repairers who are in the market for a web-site, then chances are we can come to some sort of agreement...

MC doyles at edwardstown has a very good rep, price might be a bit high tho.

Ive had good experience with marion crash on marion road, although they couldnt keep with there dead line but the quality of work was excellent

Ive also used a place called Greg Nelson crash on brighton road, much cheaper then the above mentioned and still pretty good, u get what u pay for, for the most part, but probably best value for money by far.

cheers

Prestige Motor Body Repairs at 226A Bridge Rd, Pooraka 8260 2724 painted and fitted my kit. Reasonable prices and ok quality - not absolutely fantastic but pretty good. I don't know the price as it was a part insurance job with other things too. I think he quoted around $700 to paint, with fitting only a bit extra.

Iam in a similar situation, but I sourced a type m front bar for my r33. It has a bit of damage though, and needs to be repaired.

I have been quoted around 200 to paint and fit plus some more money to repair as it has to be sent off to another place to be fixed.

So lets say around 300 all up. Do you think this price is resonable?

Didnt want to hijack your thread or anything, but it was relating to painting panels.

=p

Anyone want to buy a R33 series 1 front bar? lol

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
