I can reccomend a place. Sydney Central Panel. They just did a full respray on my 32 GTR. And I mean the whole hog, all windows out etc etc. very nice job. They have done a number of things for me now, and best of all they are very trustworthy. Speak to Tony, or Josh. 9319 6044 , Regent St Redfern. Anyone who's seen my car since the re-spray I'm sure will attest to the quality of the finish.

PS, tell Tony that I (Richard) sent you there. He will look after you.

So if someone goes there and gets some work done he won't get as good a job done cause he doesn't know you or said you sent him? Seems pretty unfair? :laugh:

Louie at exclusive colours also does a great job at a great price :)

I'll second that, Louie does an awesome job at a great price!

Give em a call 9631 2345. There at 431 Great Western Highway, Wentworthville just off the Cumberland Highway.

Cheers

Did a search, and this seemed to be the longest thread in the nsw section, Anyone got any other recommendations for getting a respray done?

Current is currently Bayside blue, but paint is a bit shit, full of scratches and chipping. Also panel gaps are a bit shite. Want to get it resprayed in the same colour and some panel alignment/work done, so would only be a close door job I suppose. Engine bay is in white already, so can't really be stuffed with that. Would be happy to have the car in the shop for a few months i needed. Asking up here, as the number of shops in canberra is limited.

Don't want/need a show quality finish, just need a nice job.

Louie does a top quality job for a great price. Give him a buzz and see when he can fit you in. His been respraying liners for SAU for years.

get it done in Thailand, i looked into it last week after noticing they love to rice out there cars, bikes and tuk tuks ect....

around 10 000 baht (around $350 AUD) for a whole car, any car depending on how hard the paint is to mix up, and the jobs i saw were equivalent to our standards here, and when you think of it, why are our spray painters charging us so much anyway? not like they went to uni and studied for 7 years to do it....

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
