First of all, just wanna say, I am a Supra owner, so the flame suit is up :whistling:.

I don't know about you guys here but I'm a frequent of the supra forum (supraforums.com.au/forum), and we do appreciate Skyline owners joining up and showing us their pride and joys, so for anyone who cares pics of my car particular can be found here: http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=61284.

Now for my question:

I live in the Newcastle area (5 mins north of Raymond Terrace to be precise). I have been looking around forever for someone I can trust to respray my car. A few people have recommended Georges paint and panel as a great guy who really knows what he's doing, so I dropped around there the other arvo, had a good talk, he gave me some great advice, he does indeed seem to know what he was talking about.

However he took me inside the booth to have a look at the current project there, inside was a black R32, blue pearl through it from memory. The car was by no means finished the had it stripped back and 2 coats of primer on there by the looks of it.

I was just wondering if the owner of this car is on here, or maybe someone knows of him? As I would like to meet up with them if possible to have a good look at the work done by this particular guy.

On another note, I have nothing against Skyline drivers, I give a smile and a nod if one of you guys notices me, but lately I've had a few real assholes. One in particular in Raymond Terrace on Sunday arvo, I was doing nothing stupid, again gave a smile and a nod, and got a death stare I am certain no woman could produce. I know I'm just being an idiot here I don't really care, just worth saying :thumbsup:.

Thanks for any comments/pointing in the right direction!

Cheers,

Jacob

doesnt matter what you drive here Jacob! I drive a hairdresser mobile! LOL

welcome - and sorry, cant help you with that skyline!

I still forget that I dont own a skyline, and wave and nod to others but yes, I get some weird looks - perhaps they think Im gay and trying to pick em up with my wiggles mobile hahaha but all good! I normally give a smile and a nod to good cars, well, what I think is good and 95% of the time get a nod back!

Thats what I think, who cares what you drive! Sure I prefer Supras but I don't death stare Skyline drivers just because they prefer Skylines!

Cheers for that anyway, hopefully someone around the area will know of him :whistling:.

Back in my in-between Supra stage I forgot too and gave a wave to Supra drivers, yes got some funny looks, especially considering I was in a Daihatsu Charade! 3 cylinder FTW!

Ive given up waving to other Supra drivers on the roads, not one wave back - i guess they're mostly too cool for school :D

Eh must work both ways then. If one of you guys gave me a wave I would give a wave back, not just give a glaring look back...

For example passed a purple 34GTR a few weeks back, gave him the thumbs up out the window, he just glared back, I'm like what the hell?

So no-one knows of this Skyline?

PS N1GTR, if you see MY-97-SZ give me a wave, I'll be sure to wave back :).

I still love the Supras but they still look like whales :D

Haven't seen that many but those Yanks sure did know how to build a couple back in the days. Got any pics?

Haha yeah I've had a few have a go at the car for looking a bit like a whale, personally I don't see it but a lot of people seem to think so.

Mate pics are in the link on the first post: http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=61284.

You have to look at the backside for the whale impression :P

All you need now are some BBS dishes to go with the soup :D :D

Love the colour on your supra :)

Cheers mate, the colour is RSP (Royal Sapphire Pearl). Its pretty rare and sought after (only very few is Aus) so I'm definitely one lucky guy.

Thats one HOT Supra, still love them heaps =)

Thanks! So I'm assuming you previously owned a Supra?

You have to look at the backside for the whale impression :rofl:

Hahaha I see what you mean, it definitely looks like something very fat from behind :thumbsup:.

Awesomely clean :)

Thanks mate, lots of bits on the paint that I'm annoyed about thus the respray.

So STILL no one know of this Skyline?

Haha no dramas :thumbsup:

1. Did you ask the guys supporting the booth who might have his number? Any other noticeable traits that the car might have? wheels? model type? etc.

2. Not all Skyline owners are assholes and if they are it has nothing to do with the car anyway. Like the other day on the forum I asked innocently how a rear panel was done on a particular car and the kid just gives me an attitude, wow he's got internet power!!

Nah didn't notice much on the car, only the colour he said it was getting painted in, and that is was a 32, apart from that the car was pretty much pulled apart and covered in blankets.

I am maybe going back there tomorrow arvo, if so I'll just ask to see the car when it is finished, surely he will understand...

Yeah I know you're not all like that... I will freely admit that some Supra drivers are just as bad, if not worse, and yes we get the same keyboard warriors on supraforums.com.au, but they don't last long lol.

Ive given up waving to other Supra drivers on the roads, not one wave back - i guess they're mostly too cool for school :cool:

i got this from skyline drivers when i first got my 33. and there were much less of them around at that time. some gave dirtys. others thought it was a race challenge. douchebags.

so i stopped bothering. i couldnt take the rejection :verymad:

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok so respray will be coming sooner than expected, after being majorly keyed:

http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/attach...mp;d=1277942962

http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/attach...mp;d=1277942948

People that do this kind of thing deserve to die...

Just thought I'll keep this thread updated just in case it turns out good and anyone else in this area is looking for someone capable to do a respray.

    • 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)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
