when i bought my skyline it had a really bad paint job so now i'm repainting it but i'm not sure what colour... i can't afford harelquin or pearlescent paint... so what colours turn out good on skylines? i've been thinking yellow or a green. Any pictures of these colours would be nice!

Phantom Purple has been done and is now common.

Hot house Green is a greaat colour, especially with a carbonfibre bonnet.

However its a Holden paint and we all know Holen paint is made with very shit chemicals.

Thanks,

Essential.

Hot house green looks damn nice i rekon that'd look good too, go for it. ;)

i do realise that it is a personal choice but i also believe getting advice is also a wise move?

Hot house green? - PICS?

SS8_GOHAN - you use the picture from my gallery photo? and put a green or a yellow?

so far i think i'm going for a monaro yellow

how are paint jobs usually done... my car will be sanded but will the original colour still be visiblein places like the inside of the door and places like that? the painter has assured me that he does a REALLY GOOD job and will guarantee it. he's taking 2 weeks to do it.

Kor: In issue number #46 of High Performance Imports Magazine there is a Toyota Supra on the front cover that is painted in "Lamborghini Diablo Burnt Orange" I belive this would look better and more origonal than any Holden colour or Ford colour for that matter, the paint is very nice. ;)

davor,

if you want to keep resale in mind then i woudn't go for yellow or green because no one is really going to buy it later down the track.

why not a dark blue or something that is fairly popular? or if you can afford it the dark purple from the R33gtr is absolutely gorgeous!

i gotta say midnight purple is the best by far (especially at night), but not so great price wise, so i would go for a darker colour (black, gun metal grey, etc) for a 32/33 and for a S2 R33 a lighter colour (silver, white, etc).

with the yellow and green... probly isnt the best choice, you will love it for about a month then you will start sayin... "wtf was i thinkn?", and i agree with WazR32GTSt about the resale... my friend had a yellow supra not long ago and it was pretty tough to sell even with a great price (even though i personally thought the yellow looked great! :D ).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
