Hi Guys,

Im looking to get some paint work done to my R32 GTR (perhaps even a respray).

Can anyone recommend any shops they have dealt with and were extremely happy with the job?

I have been running around getting quotes (all around the 8k mark for a respay).

I have heard I should speak to Louie Xclusive Colours but the company doesn’t appear to be listed anymore.

I am thinking of going with Chatswood Prestige (they did a claim on an R34gtt in the past).

Thanks in advance.

(PS the car is white)

I'm in the same situation, but my R33 is black.

Wouldn't mind having the stone paint-chips repaired also, but as they are mostly on the bumper, a respray might be enough.

Still living with it since those gravel trucks dumped debree on the M2 about 5 years ago.

Damn north shore construction.

I met a guy who got a whole R33 done, with a custom colour change for $2000.

It was done right, with glass and rubbers being removed.

Looked great.

Wish I got the details, but at least I know it can be done for less than $8K.

I got my kit done by Auto Refinishers in Randwick

They're on Lingard St, close to the intersection between Alison Rd and Avoca St

Good quality stuff and friendly too though I forgot their number or contact details

you can search it up in the yellow pages that's what I did :(

  • 2 weeks later...

red car... maybe just external spray (not engine bay/trim) in darker read and maybe silver pearl. just to make it look neat/tidy on the outside for minimal cost.

Doesn't look pretty atm... thus am aiming to change colour and rims and have a reasonable car.

Might take the engine and gear out myself and spray the bay black, as i imagine it aint cheap to have somebody else do that for you.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • 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).
