Hey guys and gals,

After a bit of thinking i have decided to respray my car. Own a White R33 Series 2 with Black 18 inch rims. Had a bit of an accident in Jan which had the rear end being smashed in and since then i havent really been caring for my car as much as i used to before the accident. Thinking a nice fresh coat of paint and a bodykit will change this.

Im currently sourcing a full Do-Luck bodykit with the drift style boot lip and then off it goes for a respray. Although im always in two worlds about doing things to my car as money is always an object. What i have concidered is as follows:

1) Kit fitted and resprayed in the factory white colour as my car is already white.

2) Kit fitted and respray in Ford Electric Orange and a CF bonnet

Pretty much just asking for opinions now as im going to make a decision once my term deposit matures in april.

Cheers

imo dont go traditional orange, to predictable, instead do a different shade of orange, such as the r35, also, maybe a dark yellow like on the holden monaros, they look porn with black wheels. another colour id like to see more of, british racing green, HOT SEX ON PORN MAGZ

Its easy for a panel shop to do it mate. My bro just had his R34 resprayed, shaved the boot including key hole. They just fill it in and spray over.

would have sink backs by now if the holes were just filled and not welded up underneith

    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
    • I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
