If you mean paint in a pressure can so you can do it yourself then Marlows Balcatta can mix it or the Auto paint centre (I think thats what it's called) on Balcatta road.

You'll need the code of course.

Cheers

HAHAAH nice one, i have been trying to do that to my 33 but it won't suit my mags... HAAHAHA! only a car of that calibre could get away with doing that! if i ever see a skyline or supra like that i will cry! :lol:

I will be going past Marlows in Balcatta on the weekend i will ask how much for a small can to be made up.... i have the burgundy colour AN0 i think the code is but i can't see much of a cost difference between colours.... correct me if i am wrong...

Dont get marlows to mix it. Your paint will be slightly faded compared to the new paint, panel beaters can match your colour, and pack it in a pressure can for you. Its not cheap, but you will also get their advice on how to do it so it doesnt react with whats there, and how to blend it in, and whether to use clear or not.

The only way you will be able to match it is if a professional does it.

Gradenko or boostzor can vouch for me knowing about paints.

Pft u couldnt paint ure way out of a wet paper bag Deesh:lol:j/k

Yeh id agree with him there, nothing like a good match. The last thing u want is a big "different" spot in ure paintwork.

But remember just cause it looks good in the garage doesnt meen that when u look at it in the sun it wont look horrible;)

      This is the part I was unprepared for. I mean, thinking about it now, the first day I collected my car from the importer someone posted a photo of it on the highway to an online JDM page which my friend then sent me. I drove straight to the office to pick up some things and was immediately swarmed by about ten college kids -  "how much power" "why no wing" etc. The next couple times I went out I didn't really notice anything, there was a "why no wing" at a service area at some point. Then during the fourth time out driving at the Nurburgring I got the "do a drift" - the bastard cut it out in this clip. The title in itself is a red flag. As you may have guessed, I am not a fan of the attention. This leads me to wondering what to do with the car in the future; I'll see how this year goes and it may be garaged, which it mostly is already, or maybe even sent back to Japan  to also be garaged and driven occasionally on visits. Fortunately my daily is as interesting as drying paint.

      Has this been converted to manual by any chance?

      I couldn't get this to work right, New clean IACV, coolant seems to flow and solenoid functions, but again as soon as I plug it in the idle raises, I ran the car for a good 1/2 hour messing around with various things it, no vac leaks. At one point with the IACV plugged in I was able with the adjustment in the side of IACV turned all the way in get it idle down a little to around 1000, but no lower, and it would surge, I unplugged the IACV engine rpms drop to about 350, turned the adjustment about 3 turns in , set idle to around 800 rpms' and it idles smooth. I set the idle stop screw abut the same so it cant drop below under load. the engine starts, restarts, with no load or with a load seems to run fine. I will have to leave it like this for now as I cant get it to function correctly with the IACV plugged in. One other thing I discovered that might be the reason for some of the issues, the engine in the car is a RB25det neo from a Stagea along with the Stagea ECU. so alot of wiring, plumbing etc that is typically there in a R34 is not.

      R33 GTR front knuckles not lining up

      By LZY33R · Posted

      Hi all, Trying to seek some assistance with my issue. I'm currently doing a complete overhaul of my suspension / driveline, on my r33 gtr and have completed stripped down the front assembly. I had purchased a new pair of front knuckles (the painted silver ones in the pictured) They were advertised by the shop aswell as other retailers online to be compatible with the entire 4wd R chassis, however when trying to fit the new pair, they don't line up with the ball joints (from the lower control arm) and the steering tie rod.  The other knuckle pictured is what came off the car, everything fits up to it perfectly, however I've been unable to figure what variant they are from originally.
