Guys, so with the years Ive read a couple of different threads in every kind of media about the white paint on R33s peels "very easily". 
After 4 years of having a R33 I noticed, that the paint is chipping off at some points, what actually led me to the idea to wrap my car, since having a complete respray was way out of my possibilities ( Even though I have to admit, that after 5 times of dipping my car I would have been able to pay a pro respray anyways..... ) 

I was and still am aware, that every time I put new dip on and having to pull it off somedays, the paint will most likely peel again at a differrent spot. But still........
Lang talk: If i wanna flat out / fill up the shown example spot, what would I have to use to just come to the level of the original paint so I can put new dip on without visible "repair" marks that shine through the wrap? Just some common automotive filler or what would you guys recommend?

Thank you!!!

( sorry for my bad english peops )

Thats really interesting, i am currently restoring a car, it was stored for a long time without any care, and lots of uv rays, then i stored it under a heavy duty cover, i have started preparing the car for paint. I can remove original paint with a sharp cutting blade, this is a first, makes my life easy, 

Sorry i cant help with your delema, maybe remove all paint on that panel, it will need removed to add any type of paint in the future.

Where these cars e plated, as this seems pretty secure, but isnt on inner panels i believe? Confused!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
