Would really appreciate feedback on any trusted business used in Melbourne for paint restoration on cars such as R34 GTR such as mine & maybe have dealt with Bayside Blue. My car is not bad to say the least, but has some little things such as stone chips, couple scratches, & couple pin dents-(may need good paintless dent guy also). Plus my TE37's(rims) could use a bit of a minor resto. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I've heard rumours that really good professional detailers can get rid of most things like scratches & stone-chips, claybar etc. Some even do rims(except tiny dents, DT Panels or paintless dent maybe for those)??? The rumours could be wrong, although if anyone knows of any detailer/s such as this then please let me know. Cheers [emoji1417]

as my car is nowhere near in need of a respray

Pratt do you know anyone who does custom body kit I have a r34 gtt I want the R34 gtr body kit carbon fibre bonnet

Do u want actual carbon, or is fibreglass fine, heaps of them available thru viva, also if you get the gtr bonnet chances are it wont line up with ur gtt front bar 

Hey Spec-s Gtt,(my name's Phatt not Pratt haha). Vu is a wizard at fitting body kits-he fitted my body kit, Nismo front bumper & painted all-amazing finish. His shop is in Springvale & shop is called "DT Panels". MissGT34 is correct though.

Has anyone got a full respray from DT Panels? I'm curious on how much they roughly charge

Hey Luis32gtr. There was a midnight purple 2 r34 gtr getting full respray the other day when I popped in to DT Panels. In my opinion for the awesome work he does, he actually has very reasonable prices. He really looked after me. Give him a call, say I referred you(blue r34 gtr) from SAU, he should look after you too. Ps. I'm not letting anyone else touch my car cosmetically, & the previous owner of my gtr was the same

I've been around a lot of pedantic finicky GTR-owners with mega dollar cars who have all gone to one person to do their work. I have too. Steve at SL Customs is second to none. No cheap or rushed paint jobs. Only show quality paint each and every time.  I can personally vouch for him as can a huge number of GTR owners across Melbourne. He started off doing show pieces in the muscle car scene and has done some very rare exotics. He's one of the few who can do a tremendous job on bayside blue and midnight purple and is usually booked out well in advance, so don't count on him squeezing your bucket with Chinese fiberglass in for a 'cheapy', if that's your thing :16_relieved:. He's not on these forums so PM me if you want more details.

+1 for SL Customs. I actually went out there to ask questions about front bumpers and honestly his pricing was pretty damn reasonable for the competency he was showing. Definitely worth a call/chat if you can book in advance.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
