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.

Call 9387 1955

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)

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
