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

      Help needed issue with heater core blower and actuator and need someone to fix this and reinstall dash - 32 - Gtst

      By Duncan · Posted

      Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"

      Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?

      NC MX5

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
