32 Getting New Paint And Wheels

[CEF11E]

hey all.

I really don post here much and haven't really introduced myself.

I have been in Vic for about 8 months and really like melbourne. I have been on sau for years and have had a few skylines.

anyway I thought I could make a bit of a diary of my respray, wheels and probably interior, I have a 1993 model R32 that was a non turbo. factory black.

I have since built a RB30DET for it using RB30e block and RB25de head. i built it myself and tuned it too. it is the first engine i have built and it was a great experience. anyway the 32 has some panel damage and it looks a bit tired so i have decided to respray it.

atm its factory black, has no sideskirts or pods, factory gtst bar and bonnet. but th rear guards have been pumped 2 inches and it has 19x9's up front and 17x10's at the rear. I really don't like too much attention so i wanted it to look stock but aggressive.

this is what it looks like now. except the guards are now pumped and it has a gtst front bar not GTR

but i have decided to paint it millenium jade and powder the wheels satin black

anyway is will be all done in about 2 weeks so i will post some pics when it has been done.

cheers!

Awesome effort on building you own rb30det

I should get mine back from the mechanic's early next week.

GREAT choice of colour too. There is a Commodore colour that is similar to the Millennium Jade and every time i see it, i imagine a Skyline with satin black rims and other satin touches, wicked colour!

You got to do something about your brake setup though

[Rekin]

will be interesting to see!

GTST look ftw

Will you be putting on any bodykit? (typeM sideskirts?) or just painting as is?

Let us know how much you charge for chipping ecu, might be interested in the future

hehe thanks dudes

yep the brake setup is all in bits waiting to go on. I have a set of r32 m spec calipers adapters and 326mm rotors. just have to get some decent pads and lines.

I am going to paint it without a kit. i really want it to look as low key as possible

I might fit a garage sirius front lip and leave it satin black but that's it.

I am still remapping ecu's and have done a few for people in vic so far. A basis remap and road tune will be $150 and will cover anything up to gtr injectors and a 2530/hiflow ect.

anyone going to the dyno day today? its in the events section

[cosmokram3r]

Sounds good man.. u doing the prep work for the respray yourself?

Incase ur wandering why i havent got the re-map off ya yet is because my car has been in the shop the last 2 and a 1/2 weeks getting resprayed R34 GTR Bayside Blue so havent had access to take out the ECU..

I get it back next Fri/Sat, so dont worry the week after im gonna grab that remap off ya

yes i went to the dyno day, i asked you why you had blue badges!

hehe it all clicks together after i read your post

Were you happy with the power? Was they dyno reading higher/lower than what you expected?

$150 includes the chip, socket and the tune?

Very good price, let us know via PM cause im real keen

[R32_GODZILLA]

Hey Nic! Great to see that you're moving even further ahead with your R32 - That paint/wheel combination will look sooo good! Great choice there.

BTW i just got my boost controller installed and dialed in at about 12-13psi and the car has responded very and goes heaps harder. Bit of tight squeeze to try make the dyno day today but will update you whenever i get another chance to put the car on the rollers. SEE THIS MAN FOR YOUR REMAPPING NEEDS! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

All the best with your car mate.

Cheers

Steve.

hehe thanks steve

no probs kosmokram whenever you are ready just give me a buzz.

Rekin, Hi mate that's funnny! i should have clued up to some sau dudes being there!

yep the price includes chip, socket and tune. i have all the tools to do it on the spot and don't really need a dyno. only if you are changing drastically from stock. and it will give you a real before and after.

yep the dyno reads low by quite a bit but the power curve was perfect. what did your car make?

[CEF11E]

the respray is going to be a dropp off and pick up 2 weeks later deal they are doing the lot. it's going to be a budget job and will cost $1600 it won't be a full show job by any means but i have seen their work and it looks good.

they will remove lights, bumpers, mirrors, trims, door handles and locks but will not pull out the glass. also just going to get the surfaces painted and door jambs, boot and engine bay will remain black. it's just a bit of a freshen up.

[CEF11E]

Woo Hoo!

I pick up the car today. i just went and had a look at it and it looks hot! it's still in bits but will be ready to pick up this afternoon. the wheels are also done and will be going on tomorrow.

I will take some pics tomorrow and post them up.

Keen too see Pictures Nic, get some up as soon as you get it back!

Thanks again for the REMAP, it worked a treat

[cosmokram3r]

Looking forward to seeing the pics =]

Your lucky man my respray has beeng going for 5-6 weeks now and they still arent done =[

[CEF11E]

yep

paying visits to check progress twice a week helped and paying cash on delivery also helps.

car looks awesome. its not a show job but looks good all the same.

glad the remap is in and working abu enjoy the new GTR...

[adznight]

Nice work mate, nice choice on colour too! Should look great. Impressive work on the RB30, I've always wanted to build an engine myself, nothing like being thrown in the deep end to learn huh! Will be a bit a weapon in such a small car, can't wait to see it in action!

[CEF11E]

here are some last min pics. sprry for the shitty quality and bad compasition. I am jusing my mobile phone.

NEVER buy a samsung digital camera. they are the worst cameras. stupid piece of shit... worst purchase ever.

the photos make it look quite ordinary, but it looks mint! hope you likey... I will take some better photos as son as possible. you really can't see how much the rear guards are flared in the photos.

next purchase will be a black front lip

cheers!

[cosmokram3r]

damn nice.. they did a real clean job looks awesome.. but to be honest i need to have a kit lol i dont like it without at least the full Type M kit..

take some pics with a better camera tho

[CeJay]

Hi Nic, Long time no hear, good to see the 32 still going strong hope the gbox is holding up

New paint does look good.

[Al]

Looks nice man!

[cosmokram3r]

Did you have to replace your windscreen when u get the spray? My panel beater says to me today oh by the way we have to replace your windscreen because when you take them off because they're glued theres a 90% chance it will smash and thats what happend.. Find that hard to beleive lol..

Its almost done!! Get it mid next week so Nick PM me your new mobile number man i might drop by next weekend for the re-map
