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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
