Hey guys n girls.

Well i'm not usually one for asking people questions about what to do to my own car, but this one has me a bit stumped. Recently I painted my R32 GTR purple with red pearl, the bit that says "SKYLINE" at the back has sort of blended in with the colour of the car.......I dunno, but I want to either get it to light up (read about doing it a while back on here) or paint it a colour to stand out.

What colour do you guys reckon would stand out on it? Some people have suggested yellow, light blue.

Also, while I've made this thread, might as well ask what sort of rims would go well with the colour. I bought 19inch rims for it, but to my dismay they didn't fit! I returned them to the person I bought them off, but am in the market for some more now, as the stock ones on this colour look terrible. I like 19s or 18s at the least. Then foglights are gonna go, i'll lower it, expose the FMIC and that would be all for looks.

Not sure on this one, any tips or ideas would be great!

Here are some crappy pics i took off my phone (car looks jacked of its ass coz the engine was out)

Thanks,

Ali.

Don't paint it... just get the GTR badge on the back.. nice and simple

I really can't see any colour except perhaps a metalic silver, even this is a long shot.. Go with my first idea..

Hmmm, might paint it chrome, silver or bronze with rims to match.

Didn't think of that, I reckon it would look awesome. At the moment i'm thinking chrome with chrome rims....

Probably won't leave it, dunno why lol.

Didn't paint it myself, got it done from a proper panelshop.

Also we've got all the badges, just haven't glued em back on yet...except for that diamond at the front, don't like it, so that stays off.

I've seen GTR badges on the front grill before...might do that. Or leave it.

Thanks for the responces guys.

Ali.

yeh i say bronze or gold, and i disagree with chrome rims, makes the car look like a show car!!!! in my view a GTR is a beast not a pony.... but thats my opinion.

Lots of people have told me that.

But I'm a fan of the bling.

LoL...if i can find some nice, non-chrome rims i'd be sure to get them though. ;)

Can anyone post the link to the DIY LED rear skyline logo, found it ages ago but cant seem to pick it up in search results.

Thanks

Same, had little luck searching myself.

looks wicked in purple... like the skyline logo the way it is ..... some 18 or 19 inch white mags would look sick.

Yeah white rims go well with purple.

    • 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.
