am pretty angry with myself tonight..

was driving into the garage (its a very tight space...) and was pissed off that there was broken glass on the ground that i drove over.. wasn';t even thinking of hte tight space of the garage

long story short - i scraped about a 1m scratch into the LHS of the car :D

add to this that i have been keyed on the RHS of the car last year, and that a bird poo that festered on my bonnet for 2 weeks last year when i was on holiday, and my car really needs a new lick of paint - it doesn't need any panel work, simply a new coat of the stock colour and a coat of clear

and this is not a show car - its my daily driver and thus it doesn't nees to be show condition

from my searches, a paint job of just the exterior in the stock colour has given me a price range that i know i should be thinking of

but i really need someone on the inside that either

- works for a painter

- has a mate that's a painter

this needs to be in brisbane also

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

all i can offer in return is free medical advice on any issues they have :D

thanks in advance,

Warren

I know a few painters, one of whom used to work for DMD. Your best bet is to see him in person. Go to P&M Motor Body Repairs in Smith St Capalaba. Go round to the paint section and ask for Bilby. He may or may not be able to help you but it's worth a try. Tell him you were referred by Daniel.

He also knows shite loads of other painters so if he can't help...maybe he knows someone who can.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
