Location? Northside/Southside?

I just got my car back from a place at geebung/virginia and they did a pretty decent job of it considering the damage. As it was an insurance job it was all new parts from Nissan (for a R34 mind you). The only problem was it took over a month for some of the parts to come from Nissan Japan.

One of my staff has had their car with that firm for over 6 months awaiting a repair - when he finally got it back the quality was crap.

Still ongoing with them to get things fixed.

Wouldn't touch them with someone elses barge pole.

I have often used (not just on the GTR) Exclusive Autos in Newstead.

They are the only Ferrari repairer in Brisbane. Also do Lambo's, Audi, Porsche, etc.

Not cheap - but very good.

If someone else is paying - worth a try.

Umm just a small point but...3rd party doesn't cover someone else's car. Not compulsory 3rd party nor 3rd party fire and theft, the only insurance that covers your car or anyone else's CAR you hit is comprehensive insurance.....so i'd be checking out that this guys insurance is in fact covering it.

Nope.

3rd party + fire and theft cover you get from RACQ or Just Cars or whatever covers ANYTHING you hit, but NOT your car. Comprehensive covers whatever you hit PLUS your car.

Sean's Presige in Rocklea, second to non to anyone else. Had alot of my friends cars done there, the work is ALWAY flawless. He gets pretty busy tho, might take a little longer than normal, but well worth the wait

I just got my car back from a small shop called "the spray shop"

They did a great job on my car, they are located in rocklea sorry i dont have the number though.. it was an insurance job :whistling:

Definatly happy with the quality, nice cheap rates too

Bayer Smash repairs do immaculate work, will be more expensive than some but if your getting repaired under racq you wont have a problem with them approving the work. They also do all of motorline BMW's work everything is to a very high standard.

goodluck

go see Peter @ city auto repair service (they are at wooloongabba on 104 deschon street) they are my works (govt) preferred smash repairer, he does a bit of aftermarket work too that is who i will be getting to do my car when i get the cash together

ph:3891 9818 go down and check out some of their work looks great

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
