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.

      Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.

      I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.

      It's flawless. (Except for major maintenance bill that non-car people would feel salty about for years afterwards) Just kidding. Life's too short to be bored driving a Camry.
