Hey guys.

I've been thinking of painting my s13 as the old paint is pretty well gone.

So I'm wondering if anyone could tell how to set up a spray booth. I've gotten a few tips from mates like putting water down so no dust blows up and keeps the booth humid.

I have a carport I am planning on hanging tarps from.

I know how to do all the prep work it's mainly just setting up the spray booth and not getting over-spray on everything else. What should I use to ventilate it?

Any advice would be great.

PS: I know the paint will probably turn out shit cause I'm not a pro but it's something I want to have a crack at and if I do alright I can think about doing my r33 as well.

It would probably be cheaper and less hassles if you hired a spay booth from a panel shop. I know some do this to reduce the costs of running a spray booth. The worst they can say is no :down:

Yea mate I have thought of that but I would like to go slow and not have to worry about getting the car out of the way or paying for extra hours and I also have a few other cars I might do if the silvia turns out ok.

the biggest issue with home spray booths is that you wont get enough air extraction to remove airborne particles like dust and paint, which will result in poor finish.

but if you must...

Ahhhh thanks funky.

I was thinking of borrowing an exhaust fan from a friend anyway.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
