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 either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
