hey all

thought i would post up pics of my 33 i have just repainted.

i just turned 3rd year apprentice and this was about my 5th complete repaint

not telling the paint colour :woot: but painted my rims in straight white tinter so there as white as white can be!

i did not complete the panel work got my apprentice panel beater friend to do that for me which took about a week after hours, the paint side took me 2 weeks after hours

the panel beater used minimal bog, just re skimmed the existing bog in the quarters to get rid of waves

i painted all the "insides" and all small bits spoiler mirrors handles etc at home, then drove to work and used the booth to do the outside and bumper bars

i also repainted the wipers and side pillars in black and that completed the respray making the whole thing look new again

i didnt bother doing the engine bay as simply too much effort takaing the engine out to do it, and masking it up would have been a absouloute c**t. plus being black it doesnt look too bad anyway

enjoy :D

Looks good mate! Being in the industry is always a good thing! I'm an apprentice mechanic myself with a few panel beater ans spray painter mates, so you cant beat mates rates!

Just a warning with those wheels... They're a c*nt to clean! I've got the same ones in white, and I want to paint them black :bunny:

Anything else planned for this?

You can always put a few coats of Kandy(ur choice of color) over the top later on if you get too sick being the same Blue as the others.U sprayed it didnt u ,so youll be able to handle that,, P.S whenever u buy or paint something , straight after you start noticing people with the same sh*t,, everytime :down:

    • Physically, you'd expect it to turn the motor 11/8ths faster than a standard one, but I'm not sure of specifics
    • Ironically the GTT was quite reliable in the 7 years of ownership. From memory I've only had to replace a radiator and coilpacks out of inconvenience 
    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15
