depends mate entirely on what kind of job you want done and how much you want to spend. For a truly show car finish, back to metal will be required but this is going to cost mate, not sure on exact price per litre of paint but labour and paint back to metal (on the assumption no dents.rust) you will not have much change from $7,000

depends on brand of paint, the paint we use at work is one of the most exspensive on the market and we pay about $600 for a clear kit, there are cheap brands that are like $100 and PPG from memory is about $400.

USeally for a re-spray they just sand all the clear off with about a 600 grit paper then apply the colour again then clear it so you'll have a higher firm of paint but you really wouldnt be able to tell from just looking at it

yeah, the majority of the time its a case of sand the old paint coat, filling the dents, priming, painting. unless you are prepared to pay the cost of a bare metal finish (not cheap)

im keen to repaint my car at some point, just gotta decide on a colour :S

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
