Hey guyz i was washing my car with my high pressure cleaner and i ripped off some paint on my sideskirt :| Do you guyz know any good places in the South, South-Eastern suburbs where i can get it done without a huge pricetag. I also need to paint the Skyline on the back cuz some paint is comin off at the bottom. Auto Innovations quoted me around $230. That seems a little expensive for such a small job. Help would be appreciated

Thx, Chris

i have a better idea....why dont you go and buy some 2k primer,hardener,sand paper,prepsol,tackrag and some 2k paint and hardener and paint it yourself....Then you might.....a)Totally **** the job up......b)Realise that the materials that you would buy would way out cost the price that you were originally quoted.....the thing you guys really have to realise is that business is not a charity and the guy is not going to get rich from doing that job.......$230 is peanuts these days,some people would easily torch that on a night out on the grog.....Most shops may not even touch the job or wont spend the time needed for a nice job coz there just aint enough money in it....just take it and get it done or put up with it

have to agree with troy on that one... having been a panel beater i know how little these jobs bring in... make on mistake on it and have to start again and u end up losing money it which is why a lot of these places pass them up.

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
