Hey peoples,

I have a 1993 r33 gtst.

It been gunmetal since the day i bought it but am kinda looking for a change.

My idea is to have the car painted a really glossy white with a gloss black bonnet.

would love to hear some opinions on this or other suggestions...

My r33:

How about a deep glossy black with bronze wheels? :D

I used to like the look of a white car with carbon bits here and there, but now that my car looks like that, im kinda over it :)

im not gonna tell you you should do your car harliquin, thought someone would have already said that... if your gonna go white, a custom pearl in it would look trick... like gold or something.

;) Maybe even white with blue pearl?

Your cars hot. Seen it in the flesh. I love it.

If you had to have a change I might repsray it a different shade of Gun-Metal, maybe the colour that comes on the new mazda's or VE comodores...

Or maybe get the Rims powder coated black

That if you need a change, not saying it'll improve the look though:)

that is one nice car! love it as it is, what front bar? looks tough, never seen it before either.

If you want to paint it white/gloss/pearl, go for it, will look great anyway. And a black bonnet always looks nice on a white car. But I reckon your gonna have to change your rims to more suite a white car, either gold or black with polished lip I reckon. All depends on your preference, not ours :P

hey all its a 400r front bar, this car looks tops in the flesh, but theres always room to move, anyone got any pics of black bonnet on grey car that might break it up a bit more. Ive always loved gloss white with black but its a lot of money and effort to change the colour of the car and depending on how much you want to spend there's still going to be somethings like engine bay that might end up left grey.

Hey Jarrod,

Yeah im thinking i'll leave it the same colour, spend the money elsewhere on the car. am considering having my bonnet sprayed black though. do ya think it'll look good on a gunmetal car??? does anyone have pics of that??? i'll probably paint the wing on the spoiler black to. wat do people think about that?

cheers

mm i'd like to see some pics before i could really imadgine what it would look like but i think with your gtr spoiler i dont think it would look good with bonnet and the whole spoiler, mabye either only paint the middle wing bit of the the spoiler and the bonnet or if anyones got pictures what about get the bonnet roof and boot/spoiler.

i'll give a couple of places a buzz for you tommorow but shouldnt be too expencive.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
