I am going to be doing a few things to my R32 GTST very soon including a full respray. I am a little torn on which colour to go for, but I have narrowed it down to 3 choices.

All of these colours are HOT and I would be happy with all of them. I am at the point where I am trying to think which would be the best colour for resale...

R33 GTR v-Spec Purple (LV4)

I love this colour... However, it doesn't look that great when it's not out in the sun and will probably show paint swirls and scratches alot more... It's not as "Look at Me" as the other 2 either....

R34GTR BaySide Blue

Classic colour... I love it. Look so good when it's clean.

I like the bayside blue, in terms of resale.... it's hard to say what will make you more money unless you mean which colour will show up scrathes then probably all three of them won't be very good for that purpose, but yeah the bayside blue is a nice!

btw, on the SS green car, are they IS200 rims??

The blue or purple, I have a V-Spec R33 in that colour. Looks awesome, although is very hard to keep clean and the colour looks quite dull if not kept sparkling.

Why would you want to paint a skyline in a commodore colour, in my opinion it looks very common - especially with every second SS and commodore station wagon etc in that colour. I reckon it will be a very dated colour in a few years time. I remember when the SS commodores starting coming out in the tiger (gold) colour everyone reckonded it looked shit hot, now just looks shit. (In my opinion!)

That was my concern, and to be honest I think it's already getting that way.

I would really love to have the purple but want it to look hot 24/7. The photo posted above of the Purple R32 is a custom colour. The guy who owns it wont disclose the paint code at the request of the painter....

Yeah sorry. Should have mentioned that earlier before people got a bit excited.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
