Hey guys and gals, my line is getting a full respray on the 10/10 but im currently unsure as to what colour to go with. Some suggestions to me so far have been:

Yellow with metallic flecks, similiar to the yellow on the new Mazda 6

WRX Blue

Possibly some sort of electric green with metallic flecks

I know this is kinda a broad range of colours but do any of you know of any specific colours out there that u think would go down well on a r32 gts-t??

I'd suggest you also go with a colour that isn't going to be hard to sell and doesn't decrease your selling market when the time comes.

I'm saying this from experience I've seen people have in the past when they've painted their car pink, and it decreases their sales market to mainly girls.

Just think of things like that when you are thinking of painting your car. Also remember that the current "Fad" is sparkles/flecks/glitter, don't do it just because it's the current trend, do it cause you like it. Also, remember with the future and selling it, are people going to want flecks/sparkles in their paint when time comes that you want to sell it?

Just some pointers if your thinking of changing the whole colour on the car.

yeah, all valid points. I think i will go with the flecks just because i dont think they will ever be disliked, possibly just not desired as much. I think yellow is out just because it will age significantly more than any other colour so im thinking some sort of electric green at this stage.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
