lol stevo you might need to steal the vins from another car if you go BLO :P

Mmm wonder id find a GTR with that paint code....

How much does the colour differ from the R32 GTR GMG?? :P

Id stick with the pearl white in true N1 fashion :banana:

You know what i give that GMG? 4 thumbs down! Im Rick James bitch

Agreed, white is looking the choice, but there's so many whites to choose from. Damn you Nissan.

Steve-O, dunno if it's the same as the whites available on Skylines, but there's a pearl white that the Stageas came out in that would look great on a GT-R - the paint code is QT-1.

* White Pearl (QT-1)

thats an outside respray in the same colour for $1500

prices depend on the condition of the car and the colour you want to paint it

give the shop a call and im sure you'll be happy with the price

work is top notch as well

$1500 is pretty damn affordable. I kept seeing quotes by people here on the forums saying even $3-4k is CHEAP for a good paint job and I was like, wtf for real?

By "outside respray" I assume you mean they do the whole car minus engine bay, inside door frames (ie. doors opened), inside boot etc?

I have a black (JV1 I think or GV1) r34 gtt with a LOT of fine scratches that a $500 detailing job didnt' really fix .. plus there's a crapload of rock chips on bonnet and roof and scratches on doors. Wish I knew it was only $1500 for an outside respray earlier ... but even so my 34 needs a respray BAAAD, If its REALLY only that much I'm gonna start saving.

Hey mate, Louies number is 0413 581 099, and the shop number is 9756 6797. He is on Cumberland highway on the corner of Victoria road.

I got my car back from there about 2 months ago from a full respray. It went in just for a respray in the stock silver as it had been vandalised on most of the car - it ended up coming out with a similar silver upon his reccomendation to not do it the same boring colour (I was a massive fan of the stock colour but still took the plunge!), which I am very happy with, and I'm not big into all the wanky colours etc..

In the time I had my car in there there was a few big custom jobs and I have to say he does mix some awesome colours and they come really 'flat' of the gun i.e no orange peel in the paint. Most shops go nuts with clear and then buff the crap out of it to get is flat.

I got quotes from anywhere between 2000 to 9000 for a same colour respray, this meant pretty much the whole car minus the engine bay - so all the door/boot jams and the underside of the bootlid was done as well in the new colour instead of the dull shit that stock nissans have in the engine bay and inside the boot. The car also needed a bit of panel work down the left side (minor dents, etc), the quote also inluded welding the boot lock and some other bits and pieces. Louie even did even more on top of that at no extra cost.

There was no chance I was every going to pay anywhere near 9k but at the same time I didnt want to go too cheap. As you have to question the quality of the paint and stuff they are using as you dont want the thing to fade after 2 years and look like the roof of a VN commodore. At the end of the day the saying 'you get what you pay for' applies with spraying more then anything, as there are just so many areas where they can f*** up - pulling it apart, preparing it, painting ans then putting it back together.

If you wanna know anything else PM me, and if you do end up go down there tell him Nick with the fussy bastard with the silver R33 sent ya lol

+ have a look into the Mazda 3 white, looks awesome.

Has anyone else used Smashtech?

I need to get the following done:

- Dent removed from bonnet

- Scratch on drivers door removed

- Passenger mirror scratches removed

- Front bumper repainted

Any rough guestimate on price? It wont be for a while as I'm saving to go to Europe at the moment.. so car stuff is on hold :<

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
