Yep.... anywhere from 3-6 grand depending on where you go, what kind of paint you want to use, the level to which you sand it back ( also depends on how different the new colour is ) and other things like if you are doing the engine bay, inner door trims etc....

To a point you get what you pay for.

$500 paint job isn't going to win you any showcar events.

Some paint materials can cost upwards of $6k trade. And certain paint styles and types can cost more in labour and materials to get an even finish.

Multi-flip paints can cost more not only because the paint costs a bomb but also because mistakes mean more materials are used to correct errors, sometime unavoidable ones.

whats wrong with a cheap paint job, your right 500 prolly wont win you a crappy piece of metal at some auto-shindig but its prolly not going to look like it was worth paying 12 times as much either. Anyways fark it sand it back and just chrome it all no paint required, nice.

    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm. 
    • I don't believe you.
    • All jokes aside, OP they're just called R32 oem rims as you said. The Nissan engineers back in the late 80's loosely copied the design from the Koya Driftek which was designed and produced about 18 years later.
