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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
