Hey all :D

I Have a r32 gtst 2 door factory black skyline, I just brought the car.

It has a fair few scratches as it has been sitting in a shed for 8 years :)

So i have decided to strip it and respray it. :) engine bay and all. the whole thing from top to bottom!

What colour do you think would look awsome?

Cheers :D

Your existing paint code is 732 is it not?

If you're going to make this a DIY project and have budgeted to gut it to the shell, I'd stick to an existing R32 Colour.

My pick would be TH1 (dark blue pearl) or #2 pick is AH3 (red pearl)

If your budget is tight and you're having second thoughts about stripping everything and the engine bay isn't too dull to detail properly,...

my pick would be the R34 colour GV1 (black pearl)

midnight purple 3 is expensive shit the paint alone is like $7,000 (whole car) i read that somewhere not sure if its right correct me if im wrong. if you decide to paint it Midnight purple like the ones i showed its $118 Per Litre due to its red/violet pearl mix and that would be the LP2 R33 colour. i have an R33 in MP and iv bought paint to respary my front bar that's how i know the price.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
