CEF11E Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 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!

Al Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/226768-32-getting-new-paint-and-wheels/#findComment-3993129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/226768-32-getting-new-paint-and-wheels/#findComment-3993166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEF11E Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/226768-32-getting-new-paint-and-wheels/#findComment-3993465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmokram3r Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/226768-32-getting-new-paint-and-wheels/#findComment-3993660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was they dyno reading higher/lower than what you expected? $150 includes the chip, socket and the tune?

R32_GODZILLA Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 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.

CEF11E Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 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 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 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.

adznight Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 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!
