Hi Guys,

Im looking to get some paint work done to my R32 GTR (perhaps even a respray).

Can anyone recommend any shops they have dealt with and were extremely happy with the job?

I have been running around getting quotes (all around the 8k mark for a respay).

I have heard I should speak to Louie Xclusive Colours but the company doesn’t appear to be listed anymore.

I am thinking of going with Chatswood Prestige (they did a claim on an R34gtt in the past).

Thanks in advance.

(PS the car is white)

I'm in the same situation, but my R33 is black.

Wouldn't mind having the stone paint-chips repaired also, but as they are mostly on the bumper, a respray might be enough.

Still living with it since those gravel trucks dumped debree on the M2 about 5 years ago.

Damn north shore construction.

I met a guy who got a whole R33 done, with a custom colour change for $2000.

It was done right, with glass and rubbers being removed.

Looked great.

Wish I got the details, but at least I know it can be done for less than $8K.

I got my kit done by Auto Refinishers in Randwick

They're on Lingard St, close to the intersection between Alison Rd and Avoca St

Good quality stuff and friendly too though I forgot their number or contact details

you can search it up in the yellow pages that's what I did :(

  • 2 weeks later...

red car... maybe just external spray (not engine bay/trim) in darker read and maybe silver pearl. just to make it look neat/tidy on the outside for minimal cost.

Doesn't look pretty atm... thus am aiming to change colour and rims and have a reasonable car.

Might take the engine and gear out myself and spray the bay black, as i imagine it aint cheap to have somebody else do that for you.

    • For something like this, I'd skip just going for the cheapest, I'd find the place with the best experiences people have had, especially for restoration work. Like everything, there is upholsterers, and then there is upholsterers. Some really great upholsterers for automotive restos won't even appear to have an online presence.   My guide would be find some of the old school classic cars that have been fully restored and are immaculate, and ask the people who own them who did the work on their seats
    • Might be tricky matching the seat trim material  If your got the funds you "may" want to get the rear re-trimed as well to match the front
    • How much is it to re-uploster?  Well that's a "how longs a piece of string?" question !  And I answer thusly: "twice half its length! " . . . . . .  Seriously you'll have to chase multiple quotes for that one from different uphlostrerereres !  Ask around, in your area and on the forums, chase reviews and most of all see the finished product in person cause photoshop is a wonderful thing !
    • Hey everyone!!  I've noticed that whenever I do my oil changes, after putting 4L in, the oil level sits at the top mark in the dipstick. This is after letting the old oil drain for a very long time too! I've checked the oil level daily for the past few mornings. It happens every time and it's confusing because all the threads say that it should take about 4.7L (With some just adding the full 5L) My next thought is to figure out if the dipstick I have is correct so could someone please tell me the length of the RB25DET engine oil dipstick?  I've checked images of some of the genuine dipsticks, but none of them have the length in it. https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-engine-oil-level-dipstick-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-stagea-c35-laurel-y34-cedric-gloria-rb25de-t-neo?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOortQXofgmiHVRKuIaiKuygL4k0Ewp68c3isGZk0vvKOJ7Yqf3iB However.... the engraving on the genuine ones say 05002 while mine says AA000. This makes me believe that maybe I have a wrong dipstick? I just want to confirm before I buy a new one. The car is a fresh import from Japan so I don't have details of the previous owner to ask him. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾 
    • Sport. I didn’t rebleed it cause I just removed the slave and left connected.    I will change line and slave and see how it goes.
