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 ..

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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
