This car was done three weeks ago & compared to the GT-R35 it was a walk in the park,it had scratches, but nowhere near as bad as the GT-R35 :bunny:

One day was spent correcting the paint and this time it wasn't a black car :banana: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

Hi Mario,

Great job! Hands sore?

Do you use clay bar at all?

Perhaps the better Q is what process did you follow?

Cheers Mate, T

:/ Terry !

Hands were sore as a matter of fact ! I did use a clay bar because paint didn't feel that smooth, i used the new Flex XC 3401 VRG DA with Lake Country Orange 6.5" Buffing Pads . The machine was used at full speed at all times ! Finished off with Wurth Paint Sealant .

Regards Mario

Hi Mario,

On all your posts/threads, you are very constructive and helpful. You are to be complimented on this !!

And I'm real glad that you supplied a pic of your van - because then I realised what you did for a living!

Stupid me when I first came across one of your posts for the first time... I thought that you might be a Dr from Poland> Er Um Lol

Beautiful, Well Done Mario.

I see that this car is currently up for sale so, whats your personal opinion of the car?

Would like to hear your feedback.

PM me.

Cheers.

I have sent you a PM !

Regards Mario

Hi Mario

Looks fantastic - how much roughly for a job like this?

Also are you only based out of Vic or do you have employees in NSW, etc?

:D

I am based in Melbourne (SE Suburbs ) but i do travel even interstate !

I will be in NSW ( Sydney ) on August 31st ! I have a meeting and a job booked for that month ,going into September ! :D

Without seeing your car i can only give you an estimate from $ 400 upwards ! That's just for the paint ( Paint Correction for the removal of scratches and swirl marks and other paint defects ! These jobs normally take a whole day but there are times when they can take two days !

What colour is your car ? Is it a metallic colour or solid colour ?

So i will be in Sydney end of August ! PM if you are interested ! Or call me on my mobile 0419 881 439

Regards Mario :(

  • 1 month later...
  • 2 months later...
Woh, $400 to buff a car...wish we got that much...

One whole day to do this job ! Sometimes two ! If i do ever come to NSW i will need a 50% deposit before i even move from Melbourne !

Regards Mario :)

was it just a one stage correction (after the prep)? ie, 1 polish product with the orange pad?

you seem to like the Wurth sealant, can't say i'm familiar with the product. Is it a glaze?

any chance of full sun shots?

Im interested

how abrasive do you go with the polish? guess it would depend on depth of the swirls/scratches etc; do u use an ultrasonic depth gauge to check thickness of the clear coat

post polish do you finish with a glaze before paint protection and what type of protection do you use; polymer or organic waxes?

My cars black and ive spent alot of time detailing but im not confident enough to use an abrasive polish and orbital polisher.

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
