I have recently seen a matte black R35 in Melbourne. Does anyone know who can do this ?

Nearly any good panel shop can do this for you - it's going to be costly - but you will need to strip the GTR back to factory coat and respray as necessary.

As far as I know - the R35 GTR does not come in Matt-black - please correct if I am wrong though.

vinyl wrap will look about as good as home tint jobs do after a while

Is this a fact?

I'm asking because I have no idea and have never seen a vinyl wrapped car in the flesh. I have considered doing this to my own car but have always wondered how durable a vinyl wrap would be in the harsh Australian sun over time.

Can anyone provide pictures of a vinyl wrapped car and then show it 1-2 years later and 5 years later if possible? A car that actually gets driven too, and not just rolled out for display at car shows.

wow such an unsupported comment to make.

And even if they do turn shit after a while how hard is it to take it off and reapply? Not very hard at all depending on what material they use to contact it to the body.

You think that looks good? I saw the same thing done to a Lambo Murcielago in Lucerne Switzerland last year, it was the bomb batmobile style

Hey I saw that very car today on Ferntree Gully road at about 10.30am!!

To be honest, I rprefer the black shiny factory paint, but it certainly did look tough in the matt, maybe this particular car was a bit too grey, if it had more black to it, like the photo LSX-438 had posted perhaps?

BTW this is only the 3rd GT-R I have ever seen in the metal...and it has been said before, this car has REAL supercar presence on the road!

it is a vinyl wrap, not that expensive, lasts up to 5 years, any damaged sections can be replaced, can be done in any colour available.

Hi Dave,

I would like to know if it is a paint job or vinyl wrap?

If it is a wrap where can I see one in the flesh? What is the cost of doing one?

Thanks.

It is a wrap, done by Exotic Kustoms in Carrum Downs. It cost about $3750 I think.

Ring Nick on 97735944.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
