Hi All,

I've just purchased my first skyline. The interior and engine are very good but the body will need a respray for it to be perfect. I've searched the Queensland forums and havent found any recent posts that would answer this question. So if anyone knows of a shop that does quality resprays on the northside please let me know. I dont mind paying more for great work either. Thanks in advance.

Nate.

Reallly NO....

DMD are not on the northside, there fore i did not recomend them... Funny that...

Anyways Pickering Smash have enough experience and have a good wrap so why do you need to go further... What does DMD do that Pickering cannot. I have had a bumper replaced in one of my skylines and spray work done by them and have been happy with both the price and the quality was beyond what i had expected...

Stafford Body Works. Ask for Allen. Always working on prestige cars and quite a few imports. BMW's, Merc's etc.

Don't use DMD, they suck, I had a but of touch up work done and it had huge sanding marks in it, really amateur.

If you want someone really good try Shipstone at newmarket, they will cost you a fortune (they do lots of porsches, mercs etc). But If you want someone who will do a pretty good job woth out costing the earth give PJ Murphys in the Valley a call, I was happy with work they have done for me.

      What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
