to change the color of your car, and do it properly will cost you in excess of 6k engine needs to come out, just depends on how keen you are. i have a white r33 and if i was ever gonna get a respray i would just get a nice pearl into the white to make it look better and stand out more.

But then again thats just me, go black, then you can see how bad the panels mite be and you can wash it and it can be dirty straight away :)

ill second that comment around being black and dirty the next day... gosh it gives me the shits.

not even next day, i just washed the car and then drove it, pull on to the side of the road where its gravel, and the dust i created just covered the car... what a waste of washing..

(i know, 'dont pull over on the dirt then', well i had to pull over somewhere!)

shaun.

yeh colour change resprays start to get pretty expensive, our shops prices starts around 7k for respray and thats only an outside respray without a colour change, but thats a flawless job

i wouldn't recommend it unless you have heaps of dosh, or you have a painter mate

i had a spray job that was off the gun when i had a front end prang. It was totalli shit. Very nasty and wouldnt recomend it as it looks like it was done with a spray can. A year later when i bought my body kit, my uncle did a whole repsray with 5 coats + 4 coats of clear for 1600 :D Gettin a respray is BS unless u know sumone in the game hey.

if you know someone who can pull and off the gun finish it will always look better then a buffed one

my car has been painted twice one by my uncle and once by MC racing and both time they have been off the gun.

buffing cuts 30% of the shine and you will always have to buff it to keep it looking good.

i got a quote from jetspeed for around 3500 for same colour respray.

I've heard that you can slightely change colour of your car somehow with not too much difficulty. ie, my car is silver series 1.5 r33, i wanted to get it the gunmetal series 2 colour...is there a way to do this without all the hassle of a 8k paint job??? Mind you its by no means a show car or anything, but i would like it to look good

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
