Try Chris at Tasman Checkpoint in Brunswick. No one else is even allowed to go near my car for repairs bar him. Excellent prices, excellent work and excellent service. Tell him you're a mate of mine and he will look after you.

hey guys im lookin for a place thats pretty decent and not overpriced in melb

got told my candy gold job is gonna cost me 12k and isnt gonna get started until xmas so im gonna look somewhere else

12k for candy gold? jesus

really worth paying that much?

Ill prolly get flamed for this, but a tip my mate told me to get a good looking job done on the cheap is to paint the car in a normal acrylic then apply a 2pac pearl over it, makes it look like a full 2pac paintjob :O

Mate had a red car and painted it red acrylic and applied 2pac pink pearl over the top, the painter said hed be able to tell people it was a full 2pac job.

Thing is i dont think beaters like doing this for people.

lol... i bought some midnite purple from protec in moorabin... only ost me $210 all up for 4 litre but im a bit wary that this isnt gonna be good enough for my car.... wheres troy when u need advice...

did that include primer and catalyst/hardner?

u looking to spray yourself?

spraying standard paints isnt that hard.. candy jobs look pretty sweet but i dont know if theyre worth 3x the mount of a standard full job.

i was going to buy the candy pearls from the states and try it out on my car and see how it comes out... then when that all blows up in my face, sand it back and paint it satin black lol

when i get my 33, ill be lookin for a shit heap to drive to work everyday as well....and i had this brilliant idea....im gonna buy a heap of cans of spray paint, like the shit you use on calipers etc, and im gonna paint the car in it. lol...I was thinkin bright green. then im gonna spray the bonnet black B)

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
