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 ).

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
