Hey guys and gals,

After a bit of thinking i have decided to respray my car. Own a White R33 Series 2 with Black 18 inch rims. Had a bit of an accident in Jan which had the rear end being smashed in and since then i havent really been caring for my car as much as i used to before the accident. Thinking a nice fresh coat of paint and a bodykit will change this.

Im currently sourcing a full Do-Luck bodykit with the drift style boot lip and then off it goes for a respray. Although im always in two worlds about doing things to my car as money is always an object. What i have concidered is as follows:

1) Kit fitted and resprayed in the factory white colour as my car is already white.

2) Kit fitted and respray in Ford Electric Orange and a CF bonnet

Pretty much just asking for opinions now as im going to make a decision once my term deposit matures in april.

Cheers

imo dont go traditional orange, to predictable, instead do a different shade of orange, such as the r35, also, maybe a dark yellow like on the holden monaros, they look porn with black wheels. another colour id like to see more of, british racing green, HOT SEX ON PORN MAGZ

Its easy for a panel shop to do it mate. My bro just had his R34 resprayed, shaved the boot including key hole. They just fill it in and spray over.

would have sink backs by now if the holes were just filled and not welded up underneith

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
