How long is a peice of string? There are so many variables in it. Do you want to pull your windows out? Engine bay? Inside the boot, doors, pillars, etc... Has your car got any damage or rust? Are you changing the wing? Bare metal spray? See where I am headed...?

A simple answer for a simple question: somewhere between $2000 and $15,000 depending on the quality you want.

Again - not trying to be rude - but how long is a peice of string?

Heres what you need to decide:

1. How good a paint job do u want? Do you want something that will look good for 12 months or something that will look great still in 5-10 years time?

Then the variables come in:

A cheap windows in respray not including door jams, boot jam inside of bonnet boot etc you may get out of it for around $3k. But as you want a slight colour change that'll include the door and bonnet jams therefore it most likely will be something more like $4-5k.

Windows out without taking it back to bare metal probably 6-7k.

Show winning paint job somewhere in teh region of $10-20k....

Giving a price for paint is not simple! Try calling some painters and ask them to lock in a quote sight unseen!

^^^ this..

So many come on here asking about painting.. It's not hard to go to some panel shops and ask for a quote and will be alot more accuate.... And then decide if the cost of one guy is hell cheap compared to the rest.. And ask yourself why.. I'd also be checking the work they currently have done.. Also the result you are after..

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
