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)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
