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 .

its silver like yours now but i want yellow coz it brings out the tail lights

Yellow brings out the tail lights, wtf....

Every time friends and I see a yellow skyline we say "What a waste..!" or "Why would ya"

mate thats great good on ya

im gonna paint it the colour i like probably coz its my car... if you arnt going to help with the question why post?

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.

    • No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.
    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
