Yellow on a r34 will look "vibrant and fun" - but you'll have to fork out $3K or more for a proper and professional job.

3k isnt that bad... i was expecting abit more. im thinking of doing the gtr front conversion and then just getting it fitted not sprayed and then when the rest of the body kit is done then get it all sprayed together... does that sound normal lol?

3k is pretty cheap I would bank on the 5k mark and anything less would be a bonus .

I also guess price would be depending weather its a colour change or same colour as inside edges would need to be done if its a colour change and this is where the price would go up .

Also with the body kits they take more time and a fair amount of materials .

Go yellow just to spite everyone that said to go blue :banana:

Remember, you get what you pay for. Your looking at around $5000 for a decent job although some places may do a decent job for less $$$. Just ask to look at previously painted cars that they have done to compare price with quality.

I vote yellow also...

depending where you go and the amount of body work required will also effect the price.

Bayside blue is a 3 layer colour and it is VERY difficult to match again so it will be the more expensive option.

      I've got a spare standard box sitting in the garage  I know it will come one day though, but it's driven pretty tamely on the four times a year it gets out...

      Big question… have you decided on a gearbox? Because it’s going to come… and a gearset ain’t going to do the job.    save your pennies 🤪

      Thanks for the quick replies guys its appreciated. A small extension was welded onto the standard 6boost external gate pipe which you can see where the pipe goes from black to stainless just below and to the right of the rear housing in the first picture. Overall I would say the flow is pretty good other than 6boosts choice to come straight off the collector at a decent angle.. Not sure why I went with two valves, I originally replaced the stock twin bovs with the GFB when I had the twins on. When I purchased the EFR it came with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV so I figured that would be a better option than the stock EFR Bov. I don't believe the Turbosmart BOV is adjustable? When I get the spike and then sudden dip in boost pressure, the turbo speed does drop as well. Stock head size wise however I believe it has Neo Turbo springs and a Neo Turbo intake camshaft and an aftermarket exhaust camshaft in the vicinity of 260 degrees. We didn't try a different MAC valve, we tried two different ways of plumbing it and we also tried removing the mac valve entirely and just having the boost source from the turbo directly connected to the wastegate and it still spiked / dropped and exhibited the same behaviour. Standard R33 GTR 5 speed tansmission. I'm running a Haltech Elite 2500 and can provide some logs if you. I understand what you're saying in that it looks like an auto plot however no, it's still a manual and it just has a lot of torque down low, for all intents and purposes it's a very impressive street car. I've attached a photo of the quickbitz dyno plot which was when the only difference is I was running -5 twin turbos with a mac valve. As you can see theres a decent dip in AFRs between 125kmh and 135kmh. Our problem now is not that the AFRs are dropping, just the boost pressure is dropping, however it is evident in the same RPM range of the map, coincidentally or not.
