Not sure about all this commision business! but anyways... in regards to colours i can understand wanting to keep a custom mix a secret, but if its a factory colour then its really no secret anyway!

in regards to price of resprays just bear in mind that with pretty much anything that involves labour, you are usually going to get what you pay for.

Theres nothing worse than a nice car (or potentially nice car) with a cheap paintjob! runs, drips, poor masking, bad buffing... You dont have to spend 8k to get a good paint job. But the difference between 3k and 5k will be worth it IMO. Colour changes among the import scene is very common atm. Good if you want to stand out from standard, but youll have to spend a little more to stand out from all the cheap jobs.

I would like to know who does a full professional respray in sydney, hopefully around sutherland shire.. Maybe one day i would like to get a full midnight purple (just like the gtrs) spray done.. What would the cost be for this?? anyone??

hey all,

any idea the kinda price for just an overspray of the original colour? say, my car is black, with a few bland patches and generally not an A1 shiny coat. any idea rather then a full on colour change?

cheers, shaun.

i got no idea where ur from bud, but up in qld (brissy) theres a place called South East Smash Repairs, located next 2 where AresSpeed used to be.. done a few cars i know of.. if u want just a different colour on outside not inside doors n engine bay i think its about 1.5-2k. bare metal is about 3-3.5k which includes rust cut out etc.. if u wanna know more give us a PM..

Steve.

yea but thats looks shit with the door jambs a different colour

engine bay i can understand but you cant leave the door jambs

if you cars a standard colour and its got scratches and a couple dents a flow coat can still work as long as the painter car match the colour for the areas that have to repaired

then the whole car gets a wet clear coat and hopfully it will be good enough off the gun and not need a buff

it will look like new

2GU UP 2 2 questions:

1. do you have any high res pics of your car? If so can you email me some to crazed_asian(at)hotmail.com or post a couple in your gallery?

2. did you ever get that C/F front lower lip spoiler? If so how much / pics?

you're a useful guy to have around man, thanks for answering so many questions. I might go and see the guys at MC racing when i've got enough spare dosh (prolly around tax return time!! hahaha)

Would be good if i could get it looking good without a full respray. If not then i guess i'll have to go all out

Cheers

just talking from experience lol

dont wanna see guys making the same mistakes i have and wasting their hard earned money :)

oh and for the carbon fibre front lip question

apparently its leaving tomorrow so ill have it by the weekend

G'day Anthony,

would be really interested (as a lot of people with GT-R's of our era) in a price for something like this, my paint is really mint apart from a couple of light scratches previous owner had on the front bar and some fading on the rear spoiler.... the only scratches at all are 2 kids bike handle (previous owner had rug rats!!) and the open metal ends have scratched a few marks in the side of it..... :(

any ideas? it is a non urgent matter.... car has to be driving first!!!!

just get it flow coated dude

basically a cut back and off the gun clear coat give it that show room shine

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
