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...

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)

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
