Hi people,

I've got a fibreglass grille and eyelids that I want to get sprayed to fit to my maroon ride. I was quoted no less than $250 to do the job. If anyone is getting their maroon Skyline resprayed or having a kit fitted, I'll be interested to share the costs by paying the extra amount it'll cost plus a carton of beer. :D

Cheers,

Louis

My mechanic actually cracked my rear and front bumpers, so I'm getting them resprayed quite soon. The only problem is that I live in Newcastle and you're in Sydney. I need to get my Super AFC tuned soon, and I'd like to do it at some place in Silverwater (the name escapes me at the moment), so if you're around there I could drop my parts in to you when I'm down there and we could split the paint costs. When are you looking at doing this?

Cheers,

Michael

hey michael,

i'm not sure if it may actually be cheaper to spray up at newie... i actually don't mind getting the stuff sprayed in newie if that's more convenient for u, cos i don't have a regular panel beater (not something i'd like to have anyway)... asap is good but there's no hurry really... silverwater? that'll be croydon i think? i don't mind paying $150 to anyone if they can get it done, extras to keep if there's any...

cheers,

louis

Hey Louis,

No, I don't have a regular panel beater, and like you said, I DEFINITELY don't want one. I'll go and get a quote from the place I went to last time for all our parts and I'll ask him how much your part of the quote is worth, and how much mine is. That way we can split the costs fairly. If you know of anyone in Sydney a quote would be good from them too.

The bits I need doing are my 400R front bar, which is slightly cracked and my left rear bumper bit which has a small chunk out of it. Both need to be patched up then resprayed maroon/burgundy/wine red, whatever you call it. The colour code is AN0 anyway :D.

The earliest I can get a quote is on Monday. It will definitely be worth it if we do this together as adding extra parts in to get sprayed costs bugger all extra.

Cheers,

Michael

Michael,

If you can get pics of the damage to be repaired that'll make it easier for the painters to quote us... Last time I asked, the going rate was about $400 for a front bar... Like you said, lil extra parts cost next to nothing to spray so yeah, I'll ring around too...

Cheers,

Louis:cool:

i know jack about spraying but one painter told me that even to spray my grille and eyelids will require the use of a spraybooth... so if we were to fix any non removable panels, the whole car will have to go in... we'll see how it goes... meanwhile maybe u can get a quote from any of the panel shops u trust and see what they can fix up for us as well :D

till date, item list is:

2 bumpers,

4 eyelids,

1 grille,

panels???

i don't know how we're gonna do other colors... i've just got a quote from this guy who did my car from the 99 hail and he's quoted me $150 to do my grille and eyelids... my eyelids are a pretty rough job so they need some repairing and i've been quoted up to double elsewhere to do the same job, so i figure this guy's price is pretty ok... now for the group spray, if sidewaymambo's eyelids are as rough as mine and michael's 2 bumpers are ready to spray, the job will cost around $750... i'm ready to spray :) btw, this place is in botany...

cheers,

louis

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.

      Far out, that thing looks like some loose fun!  Nothing beats the rawness of a filthy old Nissan with zero aids to keep the wheels pointing in the right direction like modern "fast" cars!
