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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
