Hey cosmokram3r,

Let me know how you get on... My 33 had an unfortunate conversation with a brick letterbox and I am possibly considering just having it repaired and then a full respray (I can get it repaired for a couple of hundred bucks, but it's about $700/$800 with painting... so if it works out at like $2000 for a full respray then it might be worth it as the paint's in 'alright' condition... nothing too flash).

$1500 will almost certainly be a cheap, bad quality job

I was kinda thinking along those lines... I would have expected amore in the region of $2000-$3000, possibly up to $4000

If you sand back and prime the whole car yourself it's more like $700 :banana:

I had a quarter panel of mine done at Imperial Finish Body Works on Centre Rd in Springvale. Came out great, happy to recommend them. Don't know about prices for full respray though. Believe the owners name is Murray.

my mate told me the panel beaters that would do it for around $1500-2000 are in noble park a few shops down from noble maccas.. i heard DT panels is good but expensive so yehhh wandering now if it would be better to go to the place my mate was talking about, he had his car done there because my mate brings him business, sanded it all down himself think it cost him around $1000, if you've noticed a ferrari red r32 around noble/dande area thats it it looks real good.. i just didnt know how much resprays usually go for, so wasnt sure about the $1500-2000 price if it was good or bad, sounds like a top price now

$4-5k for a proper respray

yeh i agree 4-5k sounds bout right. thats what i got quoted for a full respray. If your willing to travel a bit Gal Smash Repairs on Garden Drive in Tullamarine are pretty good.

give him a buzz and speak to Dave, he'll sort you out.

I'm a spray painter and I'm only gonna say this one time and one time only! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

If you pay $1500 for a full respray, it'll probably look pretty good for the first 6months... until the paint starts to peel off on all the edges of the panels...

Also, for that price, don't ecpect that anything will be removed from the car... I mean, everything will be masked up and also, don't expect that ANY form of repairs will be done... I'm talking, no stone chips filled in, no car park din''ts fixed, etc etc..

Bsaically, if you love your car... being a tight arse now is gonna cost you more later.

DT Panels expensive????? hahaha, your mates are on drugs

$2K - $2.5k is dirt cheap for a respray and a $1-$1.5k i wouldn't even classify as a respray... more like just a "spray"

If you're fussy, realistically you gotta spend upwards of $4k, more like $5k+

If you want a killer job, Mr Gloss is in Moorabbin, don't expect much change from $8k though.

Spray painting is about a close a real world example of 'you get what you pay for' as you'll ever get.

good luck! (my car was resprayed at DT Panels)

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
