Taken during a cruise where I pretty much didn't get a 1km from mine and started leaking coolant from a minor split in a hose.

Did the rest of the day as it was minor. A mate in another R32 GTR took these and dropped em off today. Hope you like.

that the factory silver/blue pearl?

Nah it isn't it is BMW Blue water metalic - Paint code 896. It's a very nice colour up close.

My GTR is the one parked behind him in the last photo. My missus took the pics.

thanks :)

im looking for a color to paint my car at the moment but i think something darker will suit

try something with the standard gunmetal grey blend. for example mine is gunmetal grey with blue flek and flakes put into the clear coat. I know of another one that has a brown/gold flek in with it and they look really good.

Scroll down and you will see the pics of it in fresh paint! Personally i think K_Ds paint looks amazing! ive seen it up close and its a very pretty car (when its clean)

Mine is the one with gold weels on page 217 of this r32 pics thread.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
