Hume Smash in Lansvale resprayed mine. Their job blew me away... Try as you might, you can't pick the difference! Their detailing was fantastic on my car. Unsure of prices as mine was an insurance job, but I think they'd be able to do a group buy.

24-26 Hollywood Drive

Lansvale NSW

97276788

Ask for Mick or Dennis.

The pic is from the day i picked it up. :D

I'm happy to talk to a workshop about a group buy, so far

* myself - front

* ARKAD - front

* brendanf - front

* XrSiSt - front

* tlai909 - skirts and rear

* brody - front, skirts, quarter panels

* kabab?

have expressed interest.

Workshops mentioned are:

* Jetspeed in Moorebank

* Nutec in Yennora

* [ryan]'s uncle

* Jerry @ Vision in Artarmon

* Prestige

* Jetcolour

* Hume Smash in Lansvale

I guess timeframe is 3-6 weeks, I'll start getting in contact with workshops on Tue. If anyone has a contact at one of the shops, can you please volunteer to contact them to ensure we have the best prices. So far, 5 front bars, 2 skirts and a rear.

Anyone else interested

Might want to check in with Hillsmotor sport to see if they'll do some paint. Im pretty sure Mark has a spray shop somewhere but not sure if its public or if he has the time etc, still, can't hurt asking.

If they can spray anywhere near the rest of the work they do, im sure every1 will be more than impressed.

i checked out the place i am was talking about the where happy to fix my **** up :P but they weren't to keen on fitting the body kit..

I don't think we will get a huge discount of this job because every single bar is different.

Anyway i am going to investigate with vision now..

I went to see my uncle today and it's not that easy.

For a proper job he has to sand or fill in gaps if there is any. This will vary from person to person.

Price varies on the colour. If it's a metallic colour it will cost more compared to a solid colour.

Also it will vary from r32/33 or aftermarket kits.

Hey Duncan,

Just spoke to a shop that I know, have seen his work and it is very good.

He said that it would vary from car to car also, which might make things easier in a way.

Some rough prices he gave me if we can get him 5 to 10 cars to do are as follows;

My car (full respray of front & rear bar and side skirts plus touch up): $600 approx.

Front bar Remove Spray and Fit: $300 approx

Respreay and touch up (Front bar still on car): $130 approx

Brush touch up (I think it was the whole car): $100 approx

Call me on 0414 195 896.

Dan.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
