There are guys that do this sort of thing for car dealerships - if its not too bad you could try that?

I dont have the numbers of any of them but just go to your closest dealership and ask them who they use

Little scrape? Touch up paint dude. Ask a local panelbeater if they have the colour. Otherwise try Nissan or import workshops for the colour. Don't have no's atm.

I've filled up fine scratches on my 33 with polish, but if the paint has been scraped all the way to the body then polish is useless.

If it's not too bad then touch-up paint is good. If you can't get Midnight Purple then look for something as close as possible, or, if it's only very small scratches at the very bottom of the lip then black touchup over the actual scratches can take the attention away if you do it correctly....

his car is midnight purple :)

on srz note: Try autobarn, they can mix the acrylic touch up paint for you. Just bring ur paint code with you. 30bux a can.

It's more dark blue then purple..

And If you get a dark blue texta it will fix the problem.. I do it on my car all the time!

Try just use a brush to apply the spray as spray goes everywhere and if you get it on your ride you'll have to buff/polish it off .. just a tip .. id say pre mix autobarn way is going to be best.. However I have bought a midnight purple colour when I was doing some mod work to my pc .. looks very similar gold flakes everything .. just go check out the sprays

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
