I use alpha one panel and paint in Osborne Park, good guy and has helped me on respraying bottoms of bumpers just before shows etc etc.... pay in cash and has been VERY cheap and good work....

HOWEVER..... it would be grea to get a well kinda like a group buy at a panel beater! most of us use one of the 2 tuners in here (SST or Hyperdrive) as they look after us, would be great if we have any panel beaters to be our main skyline choice of repairer!!

CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP US BY OFFERING VERY CHEAP PRICES! I am sure by the way some of us drive our lines frequent business would be achieved by offerin very cheap prices with good work!

Nah i think it's HOWE street, near WA suspension...

Bugger i never knew they had new owners, i was friends with the old owners daughter! as IMACUL8 mentioned was a great guy!

Hmmm might have to see what they can do....

Precision Panel and Paint, Bayswater. They do top class work and I have used their services for over 12 years. They are registered repairers and also do warrantty work for Peugeot, Citrroen and Ford.

Hey - this is from SAUWA member Scags (Jarred) -

My Dad owns and manages one of Perth's leading Panel & Paint shops:

Gino's Panel & Paint http://www.ginos.com.au/ in Freo. They mostly do

insurance work, but do some private work.

Quality wise they are second to none. They have the latest tools

technologies and techniques. Price wise however, they are not the

cheapest around. This is a definite reflection of the quality though.

At the moment there is no special deal for members as the shop is quite busy. But have a look at the website or give them a call.

My brother owns and operates a panel & paint shop and i would highly recommend him. Its only a small shop but his work is excellent and he has put out several show cars including a harlequin twin turbo V6 commodore that is going to be in motivation this weekend. Details:

Impact Panel & Paint

Owner: Sean Booy

Ph: 9248 2086

Address: Unit 5 / 27 Truganina Rd Malaga

Is he prepared to do a cheap deal for SAUWA members? Basically i have an insurance job which has to be done.. and more than happy to put to anyone as i'm not paying... but i have a few scratches and a front bar repair to do too.. if he wants both bits of work and the price is right....

Personally i reckon that if someone jumps on board and gives decent prices too SAUWA members.. he'll get a HEAP of repeat business. Its hard to find any car work thats both reliable and well priced. You dont know who to trust

well said damono, you don't know who to trust which is the issue now a day.

With someone who is a panel beater about to get a sh*t load of business from SAU we definately want to know that we will be getting THE BEST PRICE and an AWESOME JOB.

Tragic - if your bro can make some sort of arrangement it looks like he already has about 4 cars in line to getstarted on and as always word ofmouth will spread very quickly through SAUWA providing that we can get a very good price and quality.... please keep us up to date with how it goes would be great for him and SAUWA

    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
    • 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
