Munkyboy - That is perfect! I wasn't thinking of a lighter silver than the bump strip but that works so well, in a factory kind of way! What silver did you use? Or it's just a colour from the chart?

I've got no idea what silver i used. it was just some random combination of RGBs. but i'm glad it helped you out :whistling:

I'm going to talk to a mate of mine who works in a paint shop. I want to try and stay with a factory Nissan colour, just for sheer simplicity! I need a pale silver, prefer metallic. He owes me anyway, I did his FMIC pipework for him for nothing!

Oh, my wife actually likes the white/yellow combo. Said it makes it look like a hot rod ('32 Hi-Boy paintjob!).

Cheers, Greg.

I'd kill for those rims! But the lower colour is a bit to bronze for my liking. Anybody got a sample of the R34 silver?

The more people are playing with these colour combo's, the sooner I want to fix up the dent and scratches and get cracking with the spray gun!

Cheers, Greg.

Spank spank!!!! Loving that 2nd pic!

I'm definately thinking the R34 Silver is the way to go!

And as for the graphics, sorry to say, as good as I am, photoshop work is thing I leave to others! I'm just purely retarded at that stuff! :whistling::)

I actually got the idea for the yellow from a hot rod haha... thats how i was going to paint my ford. I reckon seeing as you have to repaint it anyway, why not spend the extra few hundred and go that little further...?

But i understand... the missus... car away for one day etc... such a shame. Whenwhite over bayside blue looks so nice.... its KINDA factory colour!

Hello all, I'm not sure if you've got around to the respray yet, but I was thinking about a two tone Stagea amd found this topic. So you got me all enthusiastic so I've put 3 colour combo's together. I was thinking the lower colour would extend over the full rear of the car to balance it with the front...

First, time I've tried to attach a pic so I hope it works!

Cheers,

Jeff

Im liking the last one best. :)

tidy job with the photoshop. Why would you not have it follow the bodyline to the front...? Looks a bit sharper than my quick effort! Pity about the colours tho.... :-(

Id probably run a silver pin stripe with the yellow or blue ones i did.

Well there was already an example with the two tone following the bodyline, so it was just to be a tad different! :) I can do some more tomorrow, so if you have a colour combo that you'd like to see, its fairly easy for me to do since its all already cut out in photoshop. So a yellow or blue and silver or black? I'll give it a go and get back to you.

Cheers,

Fair enough jeff! makes sense.

Im actually about 2 weeks from buying a black or a silver series two (the model i photoshopped - note the different headlights) and would love to do something different on it like a half body two tone.

If you could do a neat white over bayside blue or chrome yellow, both with the silver pinstripe (probably only 7-8mm) thatd be awesome!

Not sure what youd go with a black... youd run the black as a bottom colour and maybe go a dark purple like the R33 GTR midnight purple on top...? Slightly lighter purple for the stripe?

What other colour could you go on top with black as a bottom? Maybe a light misty orange/silver colour....? With a darker orange in the pin stripe...??

Ok, firstly I better say that I did these recolours from pics of MyStag260's car, its a schmicho example and he had some good pics with the angles I wanted. So, I hope you dont mind MyStag260!! Anyways, I've changed the two tone line a little, which I think fits the body shape nicely, well, I like them anyways! Stagecoach, I've tried some yellow and blue for you too. ;) Ok, heaps of eye candy, apologies to dial-uppers....

Just thought I'd also add a more detailed custom respray job. If only I had the money.... Anywhays, here's whats been done. Brake lights have been lightly smoked, drivers window tinted, and a few inches of the roof, old school style :worship: I've also lowered the car somewhat and tinted the wheels to match the paint. Hope you like it all!

Here's my effort for your consideration. Thanks to RB26Stagea's car!! :P

Added new shade....

My car! What have you done?! That's the LAST time I use Valet parking!

Anyways, can someone do a pearl white with black roof - a-la-S13 style?? I have to have mine resprayed shortly, when I get the rust cut out of the doors, and was toying with the black roof and a/b/c pillars idea.

My main concern is what the rear hatch will look like with only the top half black: may be a little.....'dinky'.

Here's some raw material (with nicer indicators, tail lights and ride height, if I do say so myself!)

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
