Hi Guys,

My white R33 has a scrape on its body kit (my driveway sucks).

So I head off to repco to get some touch up paint only to be told that they dont stock paint for imported cars, and go to a panel beaters who can knock me up a batch.

Has anyone touched up their white R33s? if so what code paint did you use, or do you know what the nearest match is?

There doesnt seem to be any paint codes on my car, the plates in the engine bay are pretty cryptic and the door labels only have tyre information

is it in the same spot for the 34??

i think it is above the rb25 on the blue plate its says gv1 g the car is black.

does anyone know if that is correct because i wan to get my mags sprayed to match colour of car??

Yep, GV1 = Nissan pearl black

QM1 - white for mine was called Polar White by Repco when they mixed up a spray can full for me, it was a perfect match.

Just a tip, to touch up the paint get a small paintbrush, the type used by art students - 30 cents each from hardware house, so buy plenty!

Spray a small amount on the inside of the spray can's cap or any small container. Use the paintbrush to dip it in the paint and paint the scraped parts of your bodykit or chipped parts of body panels.

The results were amazing for me can't see any scrapes at all

Sorry its not Repco, it was actually at Autobarn in Blacktown. All these car parts places are the same to me lol

Really helpful staff, they even came out to the carpark and checked the plate to make sure its right.

Sorry for the mis-information

    • No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.
    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
