After semi dismantaling my R32 GTR it seems there are a fair few spots that need fixing up, few rust spots, large scratches, shoddy repairs. Considering that I was thinking I might aswell respray the whole car. Currently the car is white.

So my question is, what colour do I paint my car? I am not a fan of pearls and to an extent, metallics. I was thinking something along the lines of a nice red (Gibson GTR red maybe). If you have pics of a colour that looks nice, post it or post a link to it so I can get an idea of what different colours look like on R32 GTR's.

Thanks

Josh

Silver with the Nismo stripes sounds good, with black wheels Z-tune style.

I was thinking maybe the blue used on the Calsonic GTR's, with maybe 2 white stripes down over the top of the car with white rims.

Not doing it green.

if you can have any colour in the world and you're after something to stand out / be original it just doesn't make sense to paint it anything stock eg silver, grey, white, black..

i'd go for something striking, but not too "look at me"

maybe the R34 bayside blue?

or R33 midnight purple?

just my opinion...

I've seen a 32 GTR in 33 Midnight purple, carbon bonnet an gold centre BBS rims...its a Vic members car....looks HOT!!

My advise would be to try sn find a nice factory colour, anything custom and as soon theres a chip or a scratch, pretty much the entire car needs to be resprayed as its hard to get exactly the same custom colour colour twice.

That combo of rims and paint looks nice. Which ever colour I go for I plan to get some BBS LM's in either silver, white or gold centre. My favourite rim.

So even if I got the colours computer mixed, and went back to the same place to get the paint, would it be similar?

one trip into the gravel trap and its back to square one. LOL

I forgot to mention this will be a track/hill climb car, so no "show car" colours (ie pearls, candys, metalic flake)

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
