Hiya people~ :devil:

was wondering if anyone here has any recommendation for a respray, looking at MATT BLACK or TOP SECRET GOLD. preferably not too far from the city. :P

-> idea in mind <- is to get an extra bonnet and trunk lid and have them sprayed in the above colours. so if any of you have a spare for a r34 GTT let me know please :D

and matt/satin black is overdone to

but you cant win them all Jamie

:down:

Over done cuz everyone thought it was a good idea to paint it on a Toyota Prius / Mazda MX5 (which I have seen) or any other car out there.

Some cars can pull it off not all.

Drift cars look good with it.

But only the Silvia / 180SX / R32 GTS-T.

You can pull it off on a R34 GTR / R35 GTR.

Lamborghini Gallardo / Ferrari 430 Scuderia / Porsche 964 / Aston Martin DB9 will look good in it as it has been done before.

Certain USA Muscle Cars can also pull it off, but not all.

1969 Camaro / Old School Hot Rods and Shelby Mustangs just to name a few.

It is a nice colour for a change, but when ppl catch on to it and think it is awesome for every car out there, that sells out the colour, which sucks!

A tough colour too, so when you have all that "Show" of a paint job, you should also have the "Go" in performance to go with it.

That's how I see it anyway.

If you do get the paint job go Matt / Satin Black.

Would look tuff!

Top Secret Gold is a little wank if it ain't a Top Secret Tuned car IMO.

yeah i like the look of MATT black :D

i like the gold of TS gold, it not your ordinary gold, and it looks sweet :)

Satin Black and if you are going ahead with it, make sure you get a decent ride height (lower it) / fitment and offset of wheels to fill out your guards.

Make it look tuff!

Don't half ass the job, cuz R34's can pull off the Satin Black.

:)

white or silver

:)

White is the backup plan if Satin Black doesn't go through.

Paintwork => MiColour, without any doubt. Quality does have a fair price though.

Have you considered vynle wrapping the car matt black? Saw it on a BA, at the F1GP-Autosalon stand, it looked awesome, especially with the carbon vynle bonnet. Being vynle wrapped also means you don't need to worry about stone chips, unless they're huge :D

Personally I think Matte Black, although a very awesome colour, always looks grubby, saw an R32 with it in the flesh and didn't look as cool as I would have hoped.

Matt black is like primer Haha!

And it can leave a lot of marks / stains everywhere as I saw a KE70 in Matt Black and it was a pig of a thing :P

Satin is better IMO.

While this topic is still floating around...

I did a search but didn't really come to any conclusion. What panel shop should I get my car resprayed at?

I was almost gonna take it to Exotic Panels but heard bad stories. Anywhere else that is relatively cheap ($4500ish) but not shit? lol

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!
