good old respraying,

friends r31 we are sanding back/bogging/derusting etc atm

got paint/thinners/harders already for it

paint is 2pac

basically, to spray the outside only of the car (no door jam's, engine bay etc) whats the damage going to be $$$ wise for the labour to spray it? any ideas/recommendations?

also for the panels that are still perfect, how far back should they be sanded, should it all be taken back to bare metal, or just to the undercoat? just knock off the clear coat (or the little thats left of it)?

How much of the car?

Are you doing things like the inside of the boot/ under the bonnet/ door sills etc?

Is it just an external respray?

basically, to spray the outside only of the car (no door jam's, engine bay etc) whats the damage ............?

:jump: :) seriously.....

in two pac .. i think roughly depending who u go to ..anywhere from 650 to a 900 as your doing all the work.. or if u can find a little asian backyarder that doesnt speak english all that well like i know of and he'll do it for 400 lol :freak:

thats just a rough idea. . i'm not 100% cluey on this kinda of stuff .. but last i remember anyways it was around that mark .. i think :(

spraying my entire car in the BA Ford Phantom Purple (including door jams engine bay etc) was around $800 for the paint/materials. All the prep was done in the backyard :)

And if i can remember, we sanded the car to the original undercoat (tryed to anyway!) we still had spots of the burgundy paint but we did the best we could, but it was okay because we had to do a undercoat, base coat, then the colour. It turned out schmick.

Just get a few quotes from different places.

aaahahahahaha!

Yeah that's what i get for jumping on the computer before i've had a coffee in the morning...

You'll need to get as much of the clearcoat off as possible.

Keep a can of primer handy while you're sanding... if you go back to metal, hit it with the primer.

heres what i would be doing.....dry sand the whole car with a machine with 240 carefully feathering chips and scratches then high fill the whole thing let it sit for a week or so then spray a guide coat black over it and wet rub with 400-600 and if its metallic finish off with 800 wet

Hope that helps

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • 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..
