lol stevo you might need to steal the vins from another car if you go BLO :P

Mmm wonder id find a GTR with that paint code....

How much does the colour differ from the R32 GTR GMG?? :P

Id stick with the pearl white in true N1 fashion :banana:

You know what i give that GMG? 4 thumbs down! Im Rick James bitch

Agreed, white is looking the choice, but there's so many whites to choose from. Damn you Nissan.

Steve-O, dunno if it's the same as the whites available on Skylines, but there's a pearl white that the Stageas came out in that would look great on a GT-R - the paint code is QT-1.

* White Pearl (QT-1)

thats an outside respray in the same colour for $1500

prices depend on the condition of the car and the colour you want to paint it

give the shop a call and im sure you'll be happy with the price

work is top notch as well

$1500 is pretty damn affordable. I kept seeing quotes by people here on the forums saying even $3-4k is CHEAP for a good paint job and I was like, wtf for real?

By "outside respray" I assume you mean they do the whole car minus engine bay, inside door frames (ie. doors opened), inside boot etc?

I have a black (JV1 I think or GV1) r34 gtt with a LOT of fine scratches that a $500 detailing job didnt' really fix .. plus there's a crapload of rock chips on bonnet and roof and scratches on doors. Wish I knew it was only $1500 for an outside respray earlier ... but even so my 34 needs a respray BAAAD, If its REALLY only that much I'm gonna start saving.

Hey mate, Louies number is 0413 581 099, and the shop number is 9756 6797. He is on Cumberland highway on the corner of Victoria road.

I got my car back from there about 2 months ago from a full respray. It went in just for a respray in the stock silver as it had been vandalised on most of the car - it ended up coming out with a similar silver upon his reccomendation to not do it the same boring colour (I was a massive fan of the stock colour but still took the plunge!), which I am very happy with, and I'm not big into all the wanky colours etc..

In the time I had my car in there there was a few big custom jobs and I have to say he does mix some awesome colours and they come really 'flat' of the gun i.e no orange peel in the paint. Most shops go nuts with clear and then buff the crap out of it to get is flat.

I got quotes from anywhere between 2000 to 9000 for a same colour respray, this meant pretty much the whole car minus the engine bay - so all the door/boot jams and the underside of the bootlid was done as well in the new colour instead of the dull shit that stock nissans have in the engine bay and inside the boot. The car also needed a bit of panel work down the left side (minor dents, etc), the quote also inluded welding the boot lock and some other bits and pieces. Louie even did even more on top of that at no extra cost.

There was no chance I was every going to pay anywhere near 9k but at the same time I didnt want to go too cheap. As you have to question the quality of the paint and stuff they are using as you dont want the thing to fade after 2 years and look like the roof of a VN commodore. At the end of the day the saying 'you get what you pay for' applies with spraying more then anything, as there are just so many areas where they can f*** up - pulling it apart, preparing it, painting ans then putting it back together.

If you wanna know anything else PM me, and if you do end up go down there tell him Nick with the fussy bastard with the silver R33 sent ya lol

+ have a look into the Mazda 3 white, looks awesome.

Has anyone else used Smashtech?

I need to get the following done:

- Dent removed from bonnet

- Scratch on drivers door removed

- Passenger mirror scratches removed

- Front bumper repainted

Any rough guestimate on price? It wont be for a while as I'm saving to go to Europe at the moment.. so car stuff is on hold :<

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
