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

    • 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.
