R33Gtr Build

[damo4860]

Hi all,

I have had my 1995 R33GTR for about 2 1/2 years now (First owner in Australia) and it has been a great car and now that i have a second car i have been able to take take it off the road and start doing work to it. About 4 months ago i was away with work so i decided to let my cousin use the car while i was out of town for a few months. To my surprise when i got back he had done a heap of damage to it. He claimed he wasnt racing or doing anything stupid but ill post some pics up and im sure your will come to the same conclusion as i did. What made it so funny was that he tried to hide it from me by trying paint over the damaged sections with the wrong colour paint. The main reason for this post is to get some ideas about what to do to the car. First things first next week me and a mate will be starting on the damage done to the car and respraying the whole car. I was thinking about putting a peal on as well and just wanted to know if anyone knew of a good peal colour to use.

List of mods

Engine is standard

ARC induction box

HKS 3in cat back exhaust

Hi Flow Metalcat

Haltech Plug in ecu

Walbro 550HP 255LPH in-tank fuel pump

18in ray engineering wheels. I dont know what model they are but im sure someone out there will.

The tune on the car at the moment is 300hp.

Here are some pics of the damage that was done.

As you can see here the front lip is beat up a little. The paint on the bonnet wasnt his fault. The day after i got back i decided to wash the car and as i was spraying the bonnet with water there were some little stone chips that then decided to just start flaking and before i knew it it was all over. LOL.

Here is some damage done to the rear guards from what i do not know since he didnt even know.

So if anyone has some ideas on what colour pearl i should be using or on any mods i should do next let me know. I will also post more pics though out the overhaul over the next few weeks or so.

MNP2?

Unlucky about the damage. I don't let anyone drive my car unless I'm in it and I trust them with my life.

What are you thinking of doing performance wise?

[bish33]

If the engine bay colour is white I would keep the car white just add a pearl like you mentioned IMO white engine bay with different body looks tacky

[damo4860]

Yep engine bay is white. I dont want to change the base colour of the car, just want to add a pearl. Just dont know what pearl i want.

MNP2?

Performance wise i want to be able to make 350kw atw with easy and still the the ability to go for more later down the track if i wish.

MNP2 is midnight purple 2 found on the R34GTR

Building the engine or leaving standard??

Looks like he tried going through a tight space and the hips of the car scraped haha very strange

[damo4860]

Ah got it.

Yeh will be building the engine. A few people have told me to go with an rb30 block and my mechanic also has been trying to get me to do that as well. If i go with the rb30 block i dont think i would do the work myself. I dont have that much time to mess around and try to make it fit so i would have to get someone else to do it ie my mechanic.

I will be just happy to have the car look like it hasnt been hit by anything lol.

[Hadouken]

Ah I thought you wanted a new colour. My bad.

Just go for a Mazda/subie/Lexus white. I love their pearl white Colours. Looks tits in the sun.

So your gonna rebuild the engine?

[damo4860]

yeh i am, i was going start it next week but now with the time and money i will have to spend on fixing up the damage i will have to wait a little longer. But that gives me more time to think about what i want to do with it. Just looking for ideas from others who have done the samething to see whats most effective.
