Hey peoples...

So im at the stage where i've decided i want a full body respray on my car...

I have a 1993 R33 GTSt coupe... Gunmetal Grey

p1010456me5.th.jpgthpix.gif

I had a guy come round today to check out the car and quote it.

The following things are getting done...

Rub back, straighten body, prime, paint obviously.

Entire car will be the new ve green (including insides of doors, boot etc. bonnet gloss black (including underneath),

blade and side inserts on gtr spoiler gloss black.

Windows will be taken out for the job and put back in.

rubbers replaced... larger fascia style rubbers will be sanded smooth and sprayed gloss black

Bonnet is fibreglass, as is spoiler.. both are somewat ripply... he is sanding them right back.. using fibreglass resin to build over and make

perfectly smooth.

Engine bay will be completely sprayed the green to match car. (i will be removing engine)

windscreen wipers will be sprayed gloss black.

inside car (dash surrounds, glovebox, door inserts etc are currently white... getting sprayed gloss black.)

Rocker covers on engine are getting sprayed the green to match.

Brake calipers will also be sprayed (not sure wat colour)

Mesh is front bar and side skirts will be replaced with new mesh

Bonnet clips are starting to rust, he will be replacing with stainless ones

Thats roughly everything... i think...

For that i was quoted $7000. Asked to have the car for roughly a month. which isn't a big deal really as i have no licence atm...

thanks to an accumulation of points for avoidable things. lesson learnt.

another questions is... do i go ahead with this or sell the car and use that money plus 7 to get something better... if so wat?

keeping in mind that wat ever i get will likely be bog stock.

I live in the eastern suburbs... can anyone recommend someone else..? i want a good job for a good price not a cheap as one.

Regards

Simon

Sounds reasonably priced considering what i know a lot of people have paid @ various places.

Obviously there are cheaper places, but as with everything the workmanship costs $$$.

IMO i'd only spray a stock colour, but thats just me.

Id only be spending that kinda money if you intend to keep the car for at least another 4-5 year too btw

if it was me, i would be getting an r34 GT-T or a R33GTR if you can handle the upkeep!

Wat r they going for now days?

would love a gtr... but would prefer to upgrade to a newer model... tuff decision...

anyone interested in a 33 hahaha

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
