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..

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
