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.

Holden SS Green

Very cool colour. I will probably be getting these rims too.

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.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
