Not sure about all this commision business! but anyways... in regards to colours i can understand wanting to keep a custom mix a secret, but if its a factory colour then its really no secret anyway!

in regards to price of resprays just bear in mind that with pretty much anything that involves labour, you are usually going to get what you pay for.

Theres nothing worse than a nice car (or potentially nice car) with a cheap paintjob! runs, drips, poor masking, bad buffing... You dont have to spend 8k to get a good paint job. But the difference between 3k and 5k will be worth it IMO. Colour changes among the import scene is very common atm. Good if you want to stand out from standard, but youll have to spend a little more to stand out from all the cheap jobs.

I would like to know who does a full professional respray in sydney, hopefully around sutherland shire.. Maybe one day i would like to get a full midnight purple (just like the gtrs) spray done.. What would the cost be for this?? anyone??

hey all,

any idea the kinda price for just an overspray of the original colour? say, my car is black, with a few bland patches and generally not an A1 shiny coat. any idea rather then a full on colour change?

cheers, shaun.

i got no idea where ur from bud, but up in qld (brissy) theres a place called South East Smash Repairs, located next 2 where AresSpeed used to be.. done a few cars i know of.. if u want just a different colour on outside not inside doors n engine bay i think its about 1.5-2k. bare metal is about 3-3.5k which includes rust cut out etc.. if u wanna know more give us a PM..

Steve.

yea but thats looks shit with the door jambs a different colour

engine bay i can understand but you cant leave the door jambs

if you cars a standard colour and its got scratches and a couple dents a flow coat can still work as long as the painter car match the colour for the areas that have to repaired

then the whole car gets a wet clear coat and hopfully it will be good enough off the gun and not need a buff

it will look like new

you're a useful guy to have around man, thanks for answering so many questions. I might go and see the guys at MC racing when i've got enough spare dosh (prolly around tax return time!! hahaha)

Would be good if i could get it looking good without a full respray. If not then i guess i'll have to go all out

Cheers

just talking from experience lol

dont wanna see guys making the same mistakes i have and wasting their hard earned money :)

oh and for the carbon fibre front lip question

apparently its leaving tomorrow so ill have it by the weekend

G'day Anthony,

would be really interested (as a lot of people with GT-R's of our era) in a price for something like this, my paint is really mint apart from a couple of light scratches previous owner had on the front bar and some fading on the rear spoiler.... the only scratches at all are 2 kids bike handle (previous owner had rug rats!!) and the open metal ends have scratched a few marks in the side of it..... :(

any ideas? it is a non urgent matter.... car has to be driving first!!!!

just get it flow coated dude

basically a cut back and off the gun clear coat give it that show room shine

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • 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.
