hey guys, might be the right place to post, might not be.. I'm currently getting my rims off my r34 refurbished and they'll be resprayed to obviously make them look brand new, the issue i now have is i want them to retain the original silver paint, apon dropping them off and discussing the job he asked about colour and i said as close to standard as possible, he said he would do them in a similar colour to hsv silver, which at the time i thought was going to be something i invisioned in my head, apon research it wont look the same, therefore leaving me to search the internet like crazy the last few hours trying to find the paint code for my rims, if anyone could help or point me in the right direction ill be forever greatful! MAKE: RAYS MODEL: Cerumo sports C5S YEAR: 1999 ill attach a photo from google to show what they look like. Thanks, Jason

Hi all, This is my first post on this forum and I'm after a little help. Like many of us, I'm respraying my interior panels, however I'm stumped as to how to pry off the climate control panel without snapping anything. I've looked at this post but can't find out exactly how to do it: Issue is that after I've lifted all the tabs on the top of the cover, there seems to be something holding it all together still near the circular dial side. Really don't want to snap it so just looking for some advice. If there is already a post explaining how to do it, please point me in the right direction Thanks fellas.

Hey guys, Got a set of 17inch gmax drift 6's, 8 inch front, 9 inch rear, which are currently off the car, the tyres, and have been sanded, fixed, and nearly ready to be painted. I was just going to paint them the same colour, but seeing as of late ive been going for a black and white theme to my car, im thinking of painting the rims a black, rather than gun metal again. Was just wondering what other people thought, and would like some opinions or ideas of other colours that may suit. Am also in the market for some black wheel nuts. Heres a few pictures. If someone could photoshop the rims black/a few other colours that would be much appreciated

After 7 years of driving with no scrapes or accidents (i've caused) i've finally done some damage to my car Happened while leaving works car park, The wall i touched is a really rough textured wall which did a great job at taking off A LOT of paint. Seeing the damage makes me feel sick and i want to get it repaired asap, i don't have too much time getting multiple quotes and would like some help with a ballpark figure in what a repair should cost me as i don't want to get ripped off. My mate thinks it would be around the $300 mark but i have no idea... if anyone is able to help with a price range it would be great. The car is: 2000 R34 GTT, 2 door, Paint is QM1 (Cloud White i believe?), ~86,000km's Photo's below... -
Just wondering if someone can recommend a good painter/panel beater in Brisbane. I have a Red V35 with dings on both sides from (hopefully) inadvertent door openings, and a more significant scratch on the front bumper where a truck that was left in neutral rolled back onto me. As the car is now getting onto 10 years, I'm also considering just doing a closed door respray. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be fantastic. Cheers.

G'day guys, i have finally spent enough money on the engine (for the moment) and am starting to look more into the cosmetic side of things. Living in brisbane and working on an island off gladstone for 28 days at a time leaves me with alot of time to do research and hunt for places but it is hard to pick a good one. Does anyone have a place that they would recommend in brisbane or close to there that does resprays and would be able to fix the scratches on the body kit? Cheers Mitch

Hi all, Basically I'm looking for a good place to get the paintwork on my 34 corrected, fairly extensively (not just basic polish job). The paint has some swirls and holograms that I'd really like to remove asap, before taking the car up to time attack. If you have had any good or bad experiences with any local business I'd like to hear about it. PM for bad experiences as to not spreading bad rumors over the forums. Or, If any of you are whizzes with car detailing and you have all the appropriate equipment, maybe we can work something out there Post pics of your previous work. (Yes I used the search function, looking for up to date info) Cheers

Thanks Rob, for helping out, you got some nice shots. So, its taken 6 months to put over 200 hours into it. So for me the effort justifies the music. I could crap on for ages about it.... fk that here it is. Put it on full screen, and enjoy.

Anyone dealt with carizma smash in Rydalmere? (yes, there was a thread in 2009 but I was after more recent info...) A long, long time ago in a panel shop far, far away, there was an excellent painter called Louie who ran Xclusive Colours. Sadly he and the business parted ways sometime after 2009 and it wasn't really the same, and I lost touch with Louie since his phone number went to the new owner with the business. As well as painting mark and my race cars, he also did a lot of work at great prices for other SAU members, and used to offer a club discount I was heading up Mary Pde in Rydalmere last week from Hi-octane and saw Louie's that very stretch ute parked at Car-izma smash repair on the same street So the question is....has anyone dealt with them? And for bonus points, is that Louie's new business?

Your favorite R32 color Started this thread for fun and to see what ya'll favorite color is for the r32. I have limited knowledge in real life of the factory or custom color on r32's because they are quite rare where I live. I'm a huge fan of dark blue paint color, so TH1 might be my favorite but I've yet to see one in person. It's a bit of a shame that my GTR was colored changed to black by a previous owner (original factory color is TH1) but I need to admit that black does look nice. Here's a pic of my gtr cause I love my car
