hehe thanks n15mo :D

Nah I got the spoiler to go with the kit and I plan to go back to the track again and I need something for the extra downforce in the rear...

Plus its a CF URAS spoiler not a stockie :no:

hmmmmmm I think I had some pics of it ages ago in my old pc...but it died...not sure if it is in the pics I salvaged before it died though...ill check tonight...at work atm.

I think if your going to have some nice dished wheels or white or bronze etc than yeah the metallics will work well with it, but I got black wheels with dish with the intention of getting the car resprayed in the blackest black money can buy....

As for what kit I got....hehehe ill post up pics when im done :nuke:

Its a genuine item from Japan though....and its costing me an arm and a leg to get it over here but im hoping to the first if not only GTT in the country with it...well at least a genuine kit :O

I know the feeling been first aye. I've waited more then 4months on my bodykit from japan to come in then another 4months for the widebody kit to come in, i know the feeling mate. oh by the way the kit i got its GENUINE URAS D1 spec widebody kit.

hehehe nah mines different yet again :unsure:

yeah mine should be ready in another month or so.....

Part of me wishes I hadnt ordered the kit as ive been tempted to buy an R32 GTR lately...but oh well too late now ! :P

my advice. black with blue pearl is not 'different' or unique. i know of plenty of cars that have had this combo. in my mind it looks a bit tacky. a nice gloss black with an extra coat or two of clear on should give a nice deep colour. even a little bit of metallic if you want.

yeah, it's 99% going to be factory black with some more metallic, for a bit more interest in the sunlight. I like the idea of a bit more silver showing up in some light, and i think a few more metallic chips can do the job rather waste money on a silver pearl.

plus, as you can see, the side skirts and rear bumper are probably going, so if it's factory black, it's going to match other ppl's cars.

So, what is the factory black paint code for a R34? GV1???

Yep, DT Panels are looking after me at the moment :laugh:

hhmm...........

very hot 34 shonen

deepest black i would love to get my hands on hehhee

Depending on the condition of your paint work, if your still happy with your paint work and want something different head over to Paint with Pearls.

They are an american company that make really nice perals that are applied in clear coats with outstanding results.

So all you have to do is have your car resprayed in clear again, will be alot cheaper that full respray!

The colour I ordered on my Tiida is called "Sapphire Black" (B20) I like it alot it's black but with a bit of a bluey metallic fleck through it. Looks real nice when the sun hits it.

a mate of mine on his rx3 sedan has gloss black with a gold perl, looks trippy, note the added f**k around if u do scratch ur car when its got perl in it

Edited by dead32

pearl isn't happening boys and girls. Got some body kits parts that i'll most likely sell, so it's GV1 with maybe a little tweaking, we're going to see how it goes. The option is a little more metallic, but i'm not sure if i want to keep it looking as black as possible? wondering whether extra metallic might take away from that a bit..

Tiida a newish nissan? a small car? Sounds nice, might have to check their website or something...

Hey just alittle word about paint jobs, the best paint jobs are from factory.

All the guess work is takin out of spraying cars in a factory as its brand new steal and the spray gun is automated.

So dont be unhappy if your paint work is not as good as a factory paint job.

Definately agree with that. Then again, if the workshop is good and your willing to spend the $$$ then it can look even better than factory.

Do the car straight jet black, just had mine done and couldn't be happier.

Hi Guys,

First time poster, I honestly do not know anything about car paint, however my R34 is red and I want to do something with the colour, maybe respray with a pearl, can someone outline my options when it comes to working the car colour?

Look forward to any reply.

Nick

If you have the cash I definitely recommend using house of kolor candy coats. We have a 1963 Buick Riviera with a $13000 paint job, crazy application method by a hotrod painter though.

Silver Base Coat to make it reflective.

Black Over the silver base

Chilli Candy Over the Black

Eggplant Candy Over that

Chilli Candy Mixed with Clear

Eggplant Candy Mixed with Clear

Clear.

End Result is a paintjob that looks unique from every angle.

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
