Goods and Services exchange 4 Skylines

[akira]

Hey everyone,

I would like 2 bring up the idea of Goods and services exchange for us Skylines Australia members.

For example, if we could create a register of who we are, what skills we could use to help others here ( eg: parts access, audio installation, mechanical repairs etc)

Once this is known, we could contact each other for mutual help with our skylines ( trading goods and services, cash etc depending on whats required)

A practical example of this: I need help with audio installation for my car.........Someone helps me and in return i compensate them with parts, cash or help with their car

Does this sound like a good idea?

What do you think?

fanf**kingtastic idea akira.

let's keep this thread serious if we can guys

[XrSiSt]

It would be good to specify where your located too also.. as this

may be useful for the odd on-hand situations?

And past experiences?

[Blitz]

Yeah sounds good....

Im a king detailer and show preparation expert...

So for that incredible showroom shine u know who to call....

Sydney - Northern Suburbs

[cereal]

I'm reasonably handy at installing audio gear.

North Sydney is where I'm at.

Akira you legend! will you go down on me?:lol:

I am good at ricing up a car?

Seriously though i can get trade rates at rocket industries and nissan parts. (might take a while though)

I'm not good for anything, but I just thought I'd show my support for this thread. Great Idea ! If we could get it maybe in a more formal way that would be good also, maybe it's own section on the SAU website ?

Nick, detailer ? I'll be in touch ! Do you do a good cut & polish ? What about engine bay detailing ?

That is my 200..... you can probably tell from the finish on that

My dad is a classic car restorer so i inherited that detailing talent i guess..

happy to give you a hand with polishing (your car :lol: )

[JiMb0]

God that will teach me not to scan read ... I read that last line as "I'll be happy to give you a hand job" ... Now where were we

Nice finish. My car since ariving has only been washed once, and due to Sydney air it gets dirty just sitting in the garage. It has quite alot of fine scratches and a few more prominent due to what seems to be the previous owners cleaning attempts (large swirls). I'd love to bring it up to look like your car but wouldn't even know where to start.

How much would you want for a full wash, cut/polish, wash and wax ? Do you also know much about detailing engine bays eg Plumbing ?

[ultim8DTM5]

i can get less than RRP on selected car audio gear

[kil41t]

Great idea akira!

I can't really do much but have contacts for car audio and alarm installations.

Jimbo,

IM sure we can work something out mate... maybe a case or beer or something...

Prank: i reckon we organise a day to work on cars like u ocne did with mysfit where a group gets together at a location like some sort of big garage and everyone helps everyone else...

Jimbo: you need to wash your car first using meguiars gold class wash, chamois it completely dry then polish the car (I use auto glym super resin polish ) applying with a small piece of towling or smooth cloth in a circular motion focusing on the marks and scratches.... do the whole car (will take ages) then buff it all off....next step get some meguiars yellow wax and some yellow round applicators and rub wax into the paint again in a circular fashion.... use a bit of force to..... once complete and the wax is drying, use one clean cloth and half buff it off.... then use another fresh cloth for a final shine and removal of any left over residue.

bobs ur uncle...

Case sounds good to me and definately a maintanance day sounds like a good fun idea. Maybe combined with a BBQ ... nice little social for everyone.

[XrSiSt]

[XrSiSt]

shucks.......now I'm blushing

I'm not particularly great, I'm probably no better than the next guy. But I've had a bit of practice on a few cars & wouldn't mind helping out.......

[JiMb0]

[XrSiSt]
