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’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
