I have seen many cars at car shows with hopeless paint jobs. All you need know a days to enter a car at a car show is the entry fee.

You want a top quality job done then unfortunately it will cost you top money. As quality takes experience and ALOT of time, thus why it is expensive.

If you want a great job contact YLWGTR2 (Troy) or ask Mavric which panel shop his car is at.

That's true, but the boys I'm referring to have produced some very nice work, and don't charge top dollar. Sure, Top Money= Top Job, but it can be done for less dosh as well......e.g the MACHNE 200sx, made front cover of HPI, if I told you how much that spray job cost u guys would call me a liar.

Last time i checked, you can't get onto magazine covers with an entry fee.....

ive seen some real bad cars on covers of magazines recently

it seems like they are running out of cars to feature so they just pick any shitbox.

anyway back on topic

ive seen lots of cheap paint jobs look good from pics and from the distance

but once you come up close you find fish eyes, sink back, buff marks etc etc etc

but thats wat you get for a cheap job i guess

Well i got a quote for around $1800 for a 2 pak colour change respray of outside panels and door jams only including fixing of minor dints all around and scratches.

Sounds about right.

After all its not a "COMPLETE" spray job, i.e panels, door jams, under boot carpet, engine bay, underbody.

Never heard of or seen any of their work before.

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
