Hi all,

Yes, I know that this topic has been started 100 times. And yes, before you say it I know that there is the workshop listing stickied in the SA section.

However, none of the previous topics or the recommended workshops satisfy my query.

In short, I have substantial damage to one of my rear guards (dent about 20mm deep about the size of a small football) right on the body line of a 32.

Each thread I searched through had a recommendation for crash repairers of some type, quickly followed by a person coming along and saying "don't use XXXX. They're crap" or the like.

As you could understand, this becomes frustrating as all my previous workshops I have used I have had issues with their work. I want the job done PROPERLY first time. Do it once, do it properly!

Is there any recommendations which people can make (or PM me with!) about getting these problems with my car sorted?

Cheers,

David

located in southern or northers suburbs, looking for a cash job or wanting a crash repair shop?

everyone is going to say good and bad things about all crash shops due to crash shops cant keep EVERYONE happy.

best bet is do some research, get some quotes, have a look at the workshops if your really fussy. sometimes you need to pay thru the nose to get a quality job, as cheap jobs normally end in bodyfiller.

just my 2c, if you have any more q's pm me

seriously elizabeth paint and pannel ask for pat, done once and very right couldnt recomend him enough

another is a very good workshop kilburn crash had work done by both these places and the best by far and ive been everywhere it seems , ur right tho many places have a good rep from one bloke then another comes along and says dont personal experiances are hard to work out sometimes but ive been to both these place i speak of at least twice each.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
