hey boys and girls

I am currently adding all the exterior styling bits and pieces onto the car and will shortly do a respray once all is done. Few things still have to be done like bonnet, grill, extended and modified guards, flip up doors and maybe new deep dish rims but that will not affect the color decision anyways. Can you guys give me some opinions on wat colors will look good as I am trying to collect as many thoughts. I made a comparison image in photoshop so feel free to check it out and tell me wat u think... =)

thanks guys

there we go, just added apoll to help ya keep track of the opinions.

I like 3,4,6,13 and 16 because they are rare colours on an R32,a nd they actually look good.

I also like 11 because its so red... lol

Nice photo shopping skills there.

It's not an easy choice though all the colours you picked are mostly good looking.

I voted red because as funky said it is so red.

I also vote chuck those wheels and get some phatties :(

Puh-leese post up pics when ya get the doors done etc!

hey 2 GU UP i just checked out your images. Is the dash painted or is it leather retrimmed? How hard is it to take the dash off and if leather re-trimmed did you do it yourself or someone pro?

Thanks for opinions guys. I think I will go for something yellowish/gold like 5, 6 or 16. Just bought some yellow/black leather sports seats so thats the way to go.

As for rims can it handle 19s or 20s without busting and ripping the guards from inside? I got TEIN suspension lowered I think 2 inches but is adjustable. How much could I get trade-in for my current 17s do you guys think?

pulled the entire interior out myself as well as everything else in preperation for the respray.

the dash and everything else is retrimmed in leather

Master Autotrim did the work on the car

In mine and most people who know about interiors opinions Louie is the best in the business. you get wat you pay for.

ive got 20s for my car but i have GTR front and rear guards with the inner front guards removed

19s shouldnt be a problem though

how much is it to retrim the whole interior (exclusing seats) on r32?

how did u manage to put GTR rear guards on a GTS? was it welded on?

price on a retrim depends on many things...leather or vinyl

, basic standard trim or custom one off work, quality of the materials.

my trim is worth about 8-10K including seats that includes alot of custom work and a mix of leather and suede

so i guess for everything excluding the seats probably 4-6K

as for the GTR rear quaters the old ones were cut off and the new ones welded on. the job is almost perfect looks factory for thoes who dont know the car and wat it is/was.

i think no.4 looks the best. plus you would never see another skyline around with the same colour. yeah you must change the wheels. but even more importantly change the front bar. get something less in your face and that compliments the flows of the 32. then the car will look really tough. oh and dont bother getting 19s. 18s still look big on 32s plus they are not so stupidly priced.

yeah, go camouflage styles, paint it in 4, get black semi transparent vinyls (rice, rice baby) and COMNDO numberplates... will look nuts. Optionally make th passenger side dor downward folding and put a sliding gun turret in where the passenger seat is.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
