im getting my 32 gtr painted next month and really not sure what colour to pick its ucurrently black and iv got three colours in mind

mdnight puple 3 , the 360 spyder ferrari yellow or jet black with a pearl

Hey

I'm also considering getting my R32 GTR painted

I've always thought that lighter colours look best on the R32

I'm going with yellow I think

Will the underbonnet and inside the doors etc?

If the answer is NO then i'd simply go with the same color as the original but with a nice pearl in it....

Having a Black exterior and blue under bonnet isnt a really good look

just like R33_STEALTH said, if your not goin to get the engine bay, underbonnet, doors etc painted and your only gonna do the exterior painting then go with your original colour. The last thing you want is popping your bonnet to show people the engine bay or opening the door and for them seeing you didnt do a full respray, by seeing your old colour underneath. It doesnt look good and you will be called a "povo" or "tightarse" :D

i got everything except my engine bay painted. my engine bay colour is black so i guess its not too bad, noone ever says anything. i actually had someone looking at my engine bay and ask "so what colour was it before?". i thought it was pretty funny.

im planning on the whole car been painted

Faarrrk!!! The WHOLE car? ...as in underneath bonnet, inside doors, underneath boot lid, engine bay...?

Thats a MASSIVE job! The car has to be stripped down to a rolling shell pretty much. Motor has to come out and engine bay cleaned and prepped. All the doors have to come off, as well as door seals and trim too. Interior has to come out(And im not just talking about the seats!)

I dont see it costing any less then 5-6K

Yes doing the whole car is a MASSIVE job.

Since your car & engine bay is black its better - its alot more obvious if you have it resprayed something like red and inside the bay is white.

if this helps

www.modifymycar.com

you can choose wat car you want (called skyline coupe in it) choose the rims you have and lower it to your specs and change the color and see which 1 you like best.

hope it helps

I'll be getting my 32 gtr resprayed soon too. Anyone got any pics of a yellow 32 gtr? I can't picture it looking too good in my head. My 3 main pics at the moment are bayside blue, dark green, or the new Mazda 6 phantom blue (green pearl).

Yellow?? wtf?

I think thats one of the poorest choices for a car (no-offence secur1ty)

My 32 is black, but when the previous owner chose to get it resprayed he had it done black again (thankgod) with a blue pearl and a small metallic fleck.

It looks black for the most part, but raven blue/black in the sun. Its the best option as you can get away without doing door trims, and engine bay without noticing.

Yellow?? wtf?

:werd:

Morgs painted his car dark green, very close to the dark green Subaru colour. Looks great.

If you're after a yellow GTR, Stirlo_GTR has one for sale that he painted Modena yellow. After seeing pics of R32s in Bayside Blue, I agree with the guys that suggest a dark colour. The black with pearl sounds very nice.

2.2c

There was this purple R32 GTR with the plates GTR or something like that in zoom [not a feature car but a write up on a track day]

The puple was dark but with a pearl. It looked much like that green in the link above but electic purple! i'll try and post up a pic if i can find it

Any way.... a dark colour is good on R32 GTR

Just make sure you have a couple of clear coats so get that lovely "sheen" on it!

I always like the VT SS common-hore blue.

My 2p

i must be boring as i have been thinking about gun metal grey for my GTR. (currently also gun metal grey). possibly with a little metalic in there. and of course plenty of clear coats.

question: what colour pearl would the colour coordinated reccomend to go over gun metal grey?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
