hehe thanks n15mo :D

Nah I got the spoiler to go with the kit and I plan to go back to the track again and I need something for the extra downforce in the rear...

Plus its a CF URAS spoiler not a stockie :no:

hmmmmmm I think I had some pics of it ages ago in my old pc...but it died...not sure if it is in the pics I salvaged before it died though...ill check tonight...at work atm.

I think if your going to have some nice dished wheels or white or bronze etc than yeah the metallics will work well with it, but I got black wheels with dish with the intention of getting the car resprayed in the blackest black money can buy....

As for what kit I got....hehehe ill post up pics when im done :nuke:

Its a genuine item from Japan though....and its costing me an arm and a leg to get it over here but im hoping to the first if not only GTT in the country with it...well at least a genuine kit :O

I know the feeling been first aye. I've waited more then 4months on my bodykit from japan to come in then another 4months for the widebody kit to come in, i know the feeling mate. oh by the way the kit i got its GENUINE URAS D1 spec widebody kit.

hehehe nah mines different yet again :unsure:

yeah mine should be ready in another month or so.....

Part of me wishes I hadnt ordered the kit as ive been tempted to buy an R32 GTR lately...but oh well too late now ! :P

my advice. black with blue pearl is not 'different' or unique. i know of plenty of cars that have had this combo. in my mind it looks a bit tacky. a nice gloss black with an extra coat or two of clear on should give a nice deep colour. even a little bit of metallic if you want.

yeah, it's 99% going to be factory black with some more metallic, for a bit more interest in the sunlight. I like the idea of a bit more silver showing up in some light, and i think a few more metallic chips can do the job rather waste money on a silver pearl.

plus, as you can see, the side skirts and rear bumper are probably going, so if it's factory black, it's going to match other ppl's cars.

So, what is the factory black paint code for a R34? GV1???

Yep, DT Panels are looking after me at the moment :laugh:

hhmm...........

very hot 34 shonen

deepest black i would love to get my hands on hehhee

Depending on the condition of your paint work, if your still happy with your paint work and want something different head over to Paint with Pearls.

They are an american company that make really nice perals that are applied in clear coats with outstanding results.

So all you have to do is have your car resprayed in clear again, will be alot cheaper that full respray!

The colour I ordered on my Tiida is called "Sapphire Black" (B20) I like it alot it's black but with a bit of a bluey metallic fleck through it. Looks real nice when the sun hits it.

a mate of mine on his rx3 sedan has gloss black with a gold perl, looks trippy, note the added f**k around if u do scratch ur car when its got perl in it

Edited by dead32

pearl isn't happening boys and girls. Got some body kits parts that i'll most likely sell, so it's GV1 with maybe a little tweaking, we're going to see how it goes. The option is a little more metallic, but i'm not sure if i want to keep it looking as black as possible? wondering whether extra metallic might take away from that a bit..

Tiida a newish nissan? a small car? Sounds nice, might have to check their website or something...

Hey just alittle word about paint jobs, the best paint jobs are from factory.

All the guess work is takin out of spraying cars in a factory as its brand new steal and the spray gun is automated.

So dont be unhappy if your paint work is not as good as a factory paint job.

Definately agree with that. Then again, if the workshop is good and your willing to spend the $$$ then it can look even better than factory.

Do the car straight jet black, just had mine done and couldn't be happier.

Hi Guys,

First time poster, I honestly do not know anything about car paint, however my R34 is red and I want to do something with the colour, maybe respray with a pearl, can someone outline my options when it comes to working the car colour?

Look forward to any reply.

Nick

If you have the cash I definitely recommend using house of kolor candy coats. We have a 1963 Buick Riviera with a $13000 paint job, crazy application method by a hotrod painter though.

Silver Base Coat to make it reflective.

Black Over the silver base

Chilli Candy Over the Black

Eggplant Candy Over that

Chilli Candy Mixed with Clear

Eggplant Candy Mixed with Clear

Clear.

End Result is a paintjob that looks unique from every angle.

    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
