G'day all, I am about to undergo a few changes to the 4 door, the biggest is a full respray courtesy of mate who is pro-spray painter in Narrabri (thats inside and out). I am a bit unsure of what colour to go at this stage (thinking of XR6 sky blue colour that is on the BA Falcon). Any suggestions of colour would be welcomed, and if I were to go XR6 colour what do you think?

The next part is polishing the engine pieces, intercooler pipes plenum etc. I have already started on this part as much as i can do with needing the car at present.

I have been doing this car for the past 2 years, and it has come along way from the NA RB25 Auto it started as. Gone from that to manual and 220KW@the wheels. This is what she looks like at the moment? Help me pick a colour guys?

I would make it look like this full stop! Kit can be had for $1800 :D

THanks for the reply, I have not seen many 4 door kits that actually suit the car but that is quite nice. I am trying to keep the sleeper look but after seeing that i am tempted?????

Ha ha yeah it is a pretty awesome kit!

If you want an idea of what a blue R33 4 door would look like track down the user spooks skyline..he has a similar colour to the one you mention, he might show you some pics

go Midnight Purple, the light XR6 blue, or maybe even bayside blue (like the R34 colour) they would make it look good.

Cheers mate, you obviously think like me as I am thinking dark purple or the light blue. The only thing is that I dont ever recall seeing many light blue skylines as compared to purple colours. Its hard to visualise the car in another colour, however sky blue is very rare on a skyline, especially a 4 door.

Thanks for your input, it has been noted

Mine is Dark Blue and I am wanting to paint it Midnight Purple (or XR6 Purple) as I havn't seen many 4 doors in that colour. If I go purple I will get white wheels that should look good.

ok so i feel the need to post up a pic, as it seems to be the rage!

i'm thinking i'll eventually respray it silver (again), but with a copius amount of metal flake. glitter silver!

Hey thats actually a very tidy looking 4door, that is a very unique look, as was said it is not over the top and more importantly looks good. Silver is a very nice colour for four doors, contemplating keeping mine silver for ease but i can go whatever colour i want so i may as well investigate!

Would like to know what that kit that is??

The amount of four door lovers that have replied to this is good to see. We will have to organise a 4 door only cruise!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep the pics coming guys, it is nice to see flash 4 doors for a change.

G-day mate ..

i would think a dark colour.. only for the reason of the rear tail lights and the center peice

on the boot lid all being dark.. here is a pic of mine.. cheers..

I would say there are too many blue skylines on the street nowadays. Got my vote for the purple, really suits the 4drs, make it as phat as you can mate:)

Great pics of all the 4drs, looking good!! Love the silver one, so tidy! I am also thinking to get my car respray, but just couldn't get the enough money for it....... anyway, looking forward to see your cars after the respray, cheers!

Thats one nice looking paint job Dave. Thanks for the pic, I am looking at something similar, probably a little bit lighter.

Will have to keep an eye out for it in my travels in Brisbane. Looks nice but hey, what did it cost etc, you mentioned it has sparkles, bet that looks good but unfortunately photos never do those thing justice.

Are you going to upgrade your breaks to the 5 stud 4 piston GTST breaks? It would be a good idea to do that down the track. :D

Yes, very true. It is probably the next mod that will be done. Will try to find a way to keep four stud wheels and get bigger discs to suit the 4 piston calipers. Am constantly on look out for the brakes, disc diameter is different by a few mm so I will have to find a way around that. But if it can be done, i will find a way. The brakes at moment are way crappy for the power. I Want to keep four stud to stick to the whole sleeper/surprise package.

Bigger Turbo is hopefullly soon but convincing the missus is the biggest obstacle

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
