haha. yeah the simple minds we have here in the A.C.T are easily carried away :rofl:

speak to mick R31DET on here. i believe he'd know a bloke or two. otherwise, do the whole run around and get quotes thing. fyshwick would be the place to start... but i'd check back here before committing to anything. there's some dodgy pannel shops our side of the woods!

i had a few things done at newgel and personally would not recommend them. The price i payed i think was ok but considering they didnt do as asked i was a bit peeved plus noted that the job they did was not up to the standard i would have expected of a place of their stature.

So does anyone actually have any more suggestions for a spray painter as was requested when the thread was started?    

Or maybe some contact details for the ones that were suggested?

Might help lol.

If you're happy to travel(an hour's drive),I know one of the top painters in Australia...who's also my brother! He's normally snowed under,work wise,but you may want to talk to him anyway...

As for locally,Tony Farugia's is the top pick,but they're hard to get into,and selective of the cars they work on. J Racing have turned out some cool jobs for a reasonable price;give Jerry or Adrian a buzz...

My mum had to take her car their through an insurance claim. They did a top job but there customer service was weak as piss.

Apparently one of their guys was off sick for a week and to deal with the backlog of cars yet to be done they pulled my mum's car from the que. Fair enough, except they neglected to call her and tell her that they had done this. She had to call them up and chase after them on a few different occassions. The delayed job caused problems with the curtousy car and stuff as well. Seemed like a bit of a hassle to me.

Like i said though, when she finally got it back they'd done a damn good job.

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
