How come? 

 

Well firstly its your car so its obviously entirely up to you what you do with it.

However. 

Rose gold or similar is redolent of a car culture that is, pretty much, the antithesis of what a GTR could be said to represent. The GTR was built to compete in touring car racing and Nissan chucked all the engineering they could at it. It wasn’t built to have chrome braid or hectik fitment rims or highly polished air filters or an overstuffed leather interior.

So painting the engine bay (Nissans efforts to that end were pretty shit to be fair) rose gold sort of misses the point. By all means clean it up but your car is a pretty rare colour for a GTR. I’d urge to you respect that and paint it the same as the body.

GTR’s are about engineering and not about bling.  Good on you for going what must have been some pretty hard yards to get it. So enjoy what you have.  Maybe rose gold for the Tarago??? (Not sure what they call them in the US)

Paint in what ever colour you want bro! who cares what people think your the one that forked out the cash to buy the car. these cars were designed to be enjoyed by there owner end of story. If you got 1000kw or gold bay or stock engine who cares, if you can head down the track or road with huge smile on your face the cars doing what its suppost to. I think rose gold would be wild, full send.

Amen.

agreed. my GTR is as probably as stock as you could find one these days and thats how I like it.  I do encourage doing what you want with your car though. my wife is painting her skyline joker purple in a few months, if she listened to everyones opinion it would be staying white. make your car your own and enjoy brotha.

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
