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.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
