Hi BNR32t, I am not sure what is the best way to do this, i also dont want to spend more than $5000 to do this if i can.

Does it have to be back to bare metal is going over sufficient, and no i wont be preping the paint i want to pay a professional to do it right from the start.

Cheers,

Dave.

I think going down to bare metal depends on what colour you want the new colour to be. If you've got a gun metal colour now and want to go to something like black then you wouldn't have to, but then if you want to go to white or something then you will. Just my opinion, never done anything like this before myself.

$5000 should just do it. there is a lot of work in painting a car properly. if you are going to repalce all the rubber seals then cost will go up. I've done it to my car and my advise is if your seals are still in good condition leave them where they are and just get the car painted.

Mine now looks like this:

also that photo was taken about a year after the paint job and probably 6 months after any decent buff and polish. it's just washed in that photo, not buffed or polished.

I'm getting a bare metal respray on my 32 and I have had 3 quotes ranging from 11500 to 12000. Thats becuase of the nature of the repairs that have to be done. All the glass has to come out. So after three quotes its pretty much the industry pricing for the level of work my car requires, and it's a bare metal respray which is more expensive then just a normal spray job.

I guess it depends on what your car is like. I think its just a case of each car is individual and needs different levels of attention.

Hope to to see the pics when your done. What colour you going for?

Hey richard did you go for stock Nissan G.M.G or did you vary it? as in more pearl etc.....?

cheers

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
