hey all

thought i would post up pics of my 33 i have just repainted.

i just turned 3rd year apprentice and this was about my 5th complete repaint

not telling the paint colour :woot: but painted my rims in straight white tinter so there as white as white can be!

i did not complete the panel work got my apprentice panel beater friend to do that for me which took about a week after hours, the paint side took me 2 weeks after hours

the panel beater used minimal bog, just re skimmed the existing bog in the quarters to get rid of waves

i painted all the "insides" and all small bits spoiler mirrors handles etc at home, then drove to work and used the booth to do the outside and bumper bars

i also repainted the wipers and side pillars in black and that completed the respray making the whole thing look new again

i didnt bother doing the engine bay as simply too much effort takaing the engine out to do it, and masking it up would have been a absouloute c**t. plus being black it doesnt look too bad anyway

enjoy :D

Looks good mate! Being in the industry is always a good thing! I'm an apprentice mechanic myself with a few panel beater ans spray painter mates, so you cant beat mates rates!

Just a warning with those wheels... They're a c*nt to clean! I've got the same ones in white, and I want to paint them black :bunny:

Anything else planned for this?

thanks guys, yeah i figuered that out about the wheels there were black before and still they looked dirty all the time.

its made 206 atw on 12.5 psi standard turbo im looking at upgrading to a hi-flow so hopefully be making 250+

other than that its got cusco coil overs, racing seat and a few other small mods

this week im having a walbro 550hp fuel pump installed and a hicas lock bar along with the cat removed from exhaust.

theres alot more i want but dont have the $$$ but eventually it will get there.

i want to make it driftable streetable and maybe kinda showable aswel :bunny:

You can always put a few coats of Kandy(ur choice of color) over the top later on if you get too sick being the same Blue as the others.U sprayed it didnt u ,so youll be able to handle that,, P.S whenever u buy or paint something , straight after you start noticing people with the same sh*t,, everytime :down:

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
