id see it dropping the value 9 times out of 10. as most people would be wary why it was painted, accident history, no longer original etc etc

Even if there was full pics of before, during, and after?

Honestly its because i dont trust people so maybe its just me....

I wouldnt have bought my GTR had i not been able to talk to boostworks who did the work on the car and go through step by step what had been done and how the rebuild went etc... i wouldnt have taken the sellers word for it even with reciepts etc. but again could just be me....

Talking to the owner of the white one.

Anyway I can verify it's been rebuilt? He has no receipts and claims it was built by the previous owner. Any way of telling of the water pump and oil pump are N1? Can a bore-scope tell the pistons are N1 by looking at them?

I can vouch for Adam's white 33R, whilst I don't know Adam personally, I've been a Boostworx customer for over 10 years and have seen it over the years as well as around a month ago, it's an excellent example. If I had the cash I'd buy it!

drop Shaun an email or give him a call if you need further verification, I'm sure he'd happily answer any questions

Respray is ok if its the original colour not a colour change for maintaining value, obviously mint orignal paint is worth the most. Run a micrometer over the car to check fhe thickness of the paint to determine if it has been a quality bare metal respray or has been rubbed back and painted over the original paint, or has been painted 3 or 4 times.

Ive seen a few go for high 30's recently inlcuding the pne drag on silvia used to own a bb 99 vspec, and the white one also a 99 vspec thats in the for sale section of this forum.

Maybe when the r36 drops next year oe the year after it will push 35 prices down and also 34 prices.

I dont have a problem paying 50k for a nice clean example id just want to make sure it is non accident genuine kms etc

How much was the rough estimate for a full spray?

I honestly don't see the problem. All the street machines / show cars are resprayed, so why not a skyline?

If it's quality, it will show.

I had a respray done due to clear peeling.

Car was already another colour.

Changed it again.

Didn't do it the same colour.

Painted the colour I wanted.

If you want to paint it, do it for you.

If you're already thinking about impact on resale, possibly the car isn't for you?

I've had both Gtr's, all depends on what you want to use it for?

daily or weekend warrior?

I was in the same boat but with the r35 or r34 i choose r34 as i wanted a weekend warrior.

If it was for a daily, hands down r35.

but there's something about the r34 that gives it abit more street creed over the rest...

I mite be wrong but maybe Fast n Furious had something to do with this.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
