Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a r33 soon but don't know if i should stay away from the red and black versions?

A few black r33's i've looked have had paint which has either lost its top coat or has faded, 'looked at any red ones but i imagine them to be worse for fading.

Are the blacks and reds prone to fading or loosing there gloss? The silvers and whites seem to hold up a lot better from what i've seen. Any truth to my thoughts or am i completely wrong haha?

black is harder to keep clean,

red, once it starts to fade, is really noticable

Agreed +1 & black shows up more swirls > higher upkeep

Durability? > Silver unless paint is crazing - if it hasn't been garaged, White unless it's turboed & burning rich, Yellow - hmmmm

If you find any in great condition (inside 'n out) & it's been garaged, I'd take it, actually.

A jet-black R33 if kitted and modified right is sexiest! Period...looks farken tough...day or night...but yes...harder to maintain and I f**ken had those swirls or stains that are left over after the rain....I wash my car at least twice a week...but besides that...love it!

Dont ever buy red, fades and is a bitch, black is the ultimate colour, but again shows scratches and swirls etc etc easily, (also be forever be cleaning a black car... been there done that)

White IMO belongs on a camry, not a sports car.

If I had to pick I'd say silver, although it is a faily boring colour, it hides dirt well, looks great polished in eitherr day or night, and its a common colour and doesn't stand out.

If I had to pick a colour though to have a car in, Bayside Blue or Candy apple red.

Although if you are looking at cars... Paint shouldn't be you first priority :D

Midnight purple for sure :D , to bad there so hard to find.

I had a look at a white one just tonight, i don't mind the white, it would look good with some gold wheels but yea it is abit boring.

My missus's brother has a black one and itslooks insanely good, his has dark gold colored wheels and looks mint.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
