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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
