After hail damage, front bar scrapes, bonnet chips, mismatching panel colours from previous repairs, aging paint and now a rear ender...I may be respraying the R33.

Colour suggestions?

You have already decided on the colour :/

I'm also deterred by the cost of hiring a full time security guard

Don't be daft Adam, that's just added expense for R34 GTR owners.

Can be easily avoided by buying a R33 ;)

orange.

then get one of those spray jobs on the bonnet that look like it was a failed tattoo idea. good resale value on gumtree.

but serious, if wanting to be original, some subtle shade of orange

Why don't you paint your Pulsar Orange with white stripe in the middle?

2. I'm not even going to reply to the color suggestion request, since it won't be one of our suggestions anyway.

3. E85 E85 E85, how did I know that would summon the E85 god himself?

4. Alvin just got defected, but... I thought his car was compreetrie stock?

Cheers for the info re: gtst and gtr, hence my question as to how different they really are when fully set up

Which seems hard. For what its worth I wenT WOT from 0kmh with 375rwkw and had traction in first which was rather suprising. Howvever around a corner is considerably less likely.

Scotty would know how much of a stickler I am for the stealth look. If someone was just looking to buy a rb28 neo I'd sell them mine.

As for r33 colours, go get House of Kolor's Galaxy Grey. Someone did a drag r33 with this colour and it is fantastic. I asked about it for my r34 before the convo subject changed to 'prepare for write off'

Same colour. Unless you are doing bay, door jams etc, in which case MNP

IMHO darker colours suit the 33

Hey man that hurts :(

You can do that with a GTS-T though, to much the same degree...injectors are my only give away cause I cbf spraying them the standard colour.

Return flow IC is legal as long as you don't have a pod.

When I drove a GTR I wasn't impressed. Maybe it had been talked up or I don't hit the corners enough to justify having AWD, but having come from a well sorted GTS-T, I wouldn't pay the extra money.

I failed my full EPA because injectors were the wrong colour. Even though I passed the emission test.

I must say the colour choices you guys suggesting are bland as f**k..

gunmetal grey, bayside blue, mnp... Come on guys pick up a colour chart that isnt from the 90s nissan catalogue...there is 11ty billion more exciting colours to choose from...

a deep dark cola coloured red would look amazing...And the things you can do with silver to increase its impact 100 fold... Look at new cars for inspiration, mazda for one have heaps of cool new colours..

Think outside the box peoples..

that means that moorabbin guy was being a flamin mongrel to you.

i spotted his car at photoshoot the other night, all i could see was a piece of the front rim , i gone to Mick, is that Gregs car..lol....Its pretty messy...It just destined not to be on the road that thing.. You tried Greg, you tried really hard and you attempts all though futile are admirable..

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
