post-16324-1143457856.jpgpost-16324-1143457715.jpghey guys

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?

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
