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;)

Its soo dam shiny but all the flaws in the paintwork really stick out now. Looks like some super acidic bird has shat on it in like 3-4 places and left these little crappy spots:mad:

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
