www.upimports.com.au - haven't had any work done personally, but they said they could do a respray for me (not engine) well within your price range there. They've looked after quite a few SAU ppl, but not sure if anyone has had a respray there... but i'm sure Dean or Chris could help you out.

cheers.

there were some recent threads, ylwgtr2 mentioned one place in airport west. kamikazier33 was after a good respray place, ylwgtr2 said those guys in airport west, try a search in vic general auto

oh ok, kool. nice price. Mind if we get the name of the place?  

and if you could let us know how the job turns out that would be tops.... good sprayers seem to be hard to find

cheers.

yes...just like customers who want to pay for a nice job instead of pinching a penny and getting a shamozzle of a job :P

come now Troy, i'm sure the SAU ppl are happy to throw money your way :P, knowing the job they'll get - but in the end of the day, it's a lot of money, so you can't blame ppl for looking around for a good price.

but i do know that resprays aren't something you can f*ck around with tho... seems you should pay as much as you can afford..

:werd: In my opinion you always get what you pay for, unless you paint job has a big Nike, Sony or Deesil logo on it :P

My respray

So where'd you get it done and are you happy with it?

The pics make it look good but i've learnt NEVER to trust them and it was dark the last time i saw your car in the flesh (least i THINK it was yours at the meet).

Also if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it?

Oh I couldn't agree more, pics are pretty sucky but yeah that would of been mine at the meeting. Was parked facing the door.

Mine was done as part of a repair so I honestly couldn't tell you what it cost becuase the total price included parts, labour, paint etc etc.

Troy - YLWGTR2 did all my work.

Im not talking about too me....just in general....the amount of work that goes into a job to make sure you get a GOOD LONG lasting finish...thats the key.....its all time and to do a half arsed job wont show up untill 6 mnths later when repairs have all shrunk back,filler 10mm thick has cracked or fallen out or clear is flaking off from not being rubbed properly....this is what you guys have to factor in when talking about getting a good job done....

yeh ill give everyone an update in about 2-3 weeks time wen my car gets finished

wen i went down to visit there shop it seem pruty good to me, they said they all used quality products and show me a car he had resprayed ages ago which was his brothers car it was a small cuppachino with a metallic orange color and the job the looked pruty good to me, but i dont know much about paint i just knew no blotches all smooth body was clean paint was good.

good enough for me for the price they offered cause i went around to some places to many places try to rip you off ranging from 4k -8k for a white repray im like u can get ****..lol

You had to respray the whole car? That isnt the side that was damaged in the photo.

I'm only stirring.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
