Project 4 Door Underway Yet Again

[12DFY]

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

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

[Mud]

I reckon beige, tan or metalic brown.

A really unique colour that no one has.

beige would be my pic for a respray.

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

[R33S2]

bayside blue would be my choice or a metalic "Bic biro" blue

[chaos]

dark candy green or candy orange..something still a bit unique

[gts25t4door]

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.

seen it done in sky/baby blue. doesn't look too bad, but like bunta has suggested, you'll really need that kit to set it off.

good luck colour searching.

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!

[gts25t4door]

I like that kit Sedanlover as it s not over the top. Silver is a nice paint to keep clean and with metal specs it should kick ass.

May I ask what kit that in on your Sedan?

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..

[RYN26]

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!

my blue 4 door (blue with sparkles)

[12DFY]

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.

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
