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.

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..

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.

      Problem with a tachometer on a Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine

      By kike_kike · Posted

      Hello First, I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Let me know and I will move it to the correct one. I'm having a problem with the tachometer on my Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine. I'll tell you from the beginning. I'll tell you from the beginning. I have the RB25DET Neo engine installed in a Nissan Patrol GU, with a Link G4X control unit specifically for that engine,  and I have fitted a Skyline R33 tachograph to the original GU dashboard, but it doesn't work properly. I have the tachometer connected to the positive and negative terminals of the GU panel's wiring, and the signal cable is connected directly to the ECU output pin, but the rpm fluctuates widely. Can anyone tell me if the output signal from an R33 ECU is the same as the output signal from an R34 ECU, or if the voltage and signal type are different? Regards and thanks.

      I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao.

      Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.

      100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.

      Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
