Micolour at 7 Dissik Street in Cheltenham (03) 9555 8011.

Repaired all the numerous dints my car collected over its life and did a full respray. I and a number of other people here on the forums would agree that Mick does great work (esp on 32's)

good luck in your choice

cheers Calvin

Hey mate,

ha ha, nahh i've got nothing against P-platers either, because i am one lol

I'm not quite sure what he was doing, maybe he got distracted by his passenger or had a spasm in his right foot ha ha.... meh, what happened is done so there wasn't much point getting angry at the poor guy :), plus he is being really nice about the whole situation so i don't hold any grudges

lol, fair enough. Yeah i have a friend like that too, so far she has written off two cars, the second crash she was luckey to get out ;)

Speaking of your licence, i read ya thread, tough break. I've been in the same situation too, just be careful and you you'll be fine :)

Thanks for the kind words,

Sean'O

Gday all,

For those who are still interested in my little saga, I've got some great news!!! I picked up the 32 from B.Lacey's this morning and happy to report its in great nick! :P

The quote was originally $500, but when I dropped the car in about 4 days later on the computer screen i noticed that it jumped to $770.....ahh well, just as well i wasn't paying for it eh :sorcerer:

Anyway, now for the fun stuff......

Here are a few pics maybe a day or two after the accident, please forgive the dirtiness, just wasn't in the mood for cleaning it ha ha

Damage1.jpg

Damage2.jpg

Damage3.jpg

And here are the pics from this morning, i guess the pictures speak for themselves, i am extremely happy with how it turned out, and they even fixed up that nasty scratch above the wheel arch at the same time (i think this scratch happened while it was coming into the country)

They also had also cleaned the inside of the car and provided me with some touch up paint which was nice of them.

Anywayz, just wanted to say a huge thank you for everyones suggestions & advice, it means a lot!! :)

Best regards,

Sean

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)

      I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading.

      Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?

      Stagea Automatic Box

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
