It depends on the quality that you want and what you mean by decent...

Yes, you can get a window out full respray for 3k and the panel beaters that I know, 3k can get me a pretty good job.

Obviously places may vary, but I do think that between 3-5k is a fair price for a good job, not the best, but good.

For 8-10k, you should be getting an awesome paint job.

Probably best to go to panel shops and see what their quality is like and compare it to their prices.

Hey Mate I have to agree. The paint is actually the cheapest part of getting a respray. The majority of cost goes towards all the labor that the shop puts in to making your car as straight as possible. If you want to spend a fair bit on the actual paint job I'd strongly recommend getting the paint off the car before you take it in. (if you can be bothered). cheers

Dont mean to hijack thread.

(Noticed this on my thread about paint costs for some repairs for my and mrs car)

This guy Cooper has posted, i read the post quickly at work and then went back in and the post has been removed with no trace.

I know he posted in this thread cause i read it 2 days ago and now same thing he has removed posts/mod has removed posts. (Random)

was going to call but have been bit hesitant now of this action.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I read your replies RE: R35 GTR MAFs, any ideal spots to put on? Obviously will need the adapter plate. Will be having a cross over intercooler fitted shortly, would putting it a bit before the TB be okay?
