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

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
