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?

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:

    • The fact that Hypergear has been posting here for like 10+ years would 100% make me go to him for a turbo upgrade. Glad you got what you wanted from them.
    • I second this motion. GTSBoy you need to start posting vids man.
    • Yep that sounds like a scam. Avoid that company if you can.
    • Mate. Your car is like 20 years old. Expect that the rubber bits (seals, hoses, etc.) needs to be replaced. Best bet is to carefully go through your engine bay and try to find parts that need replacing (e.g. rubber hoses). for your power steering issue, best bet is to pull off the pump (not that hard, you can buy basic tools from Supercheap et. al. to remove it) and then inspect/get it rebuilt. *edit* forgot to add, no idea on R34, but my R32 HICAS computer has been playing up since I bought it (10+ years ago), so I just disconnected the small plug to "disable" HICAS but keep my power steering. So something extra for you to look into.
    • Something to keep in mind, RB26DETT was dreamt up in 1986-1987 for the Group A regulations. So to compare it to a post-2005 engine is not the best. You must Compare the RB26DETT to its contemporaries, like the YB (which it killed off), the 1GG, 1JZ, whatever 5L V8 Ford/Holden had, etc. etc. aka late 1980's tech. When you're trying to match RB26 to a S58, you've gone off the deep end already and are looking at custom block/head/etc so no longer a standard engine. Technology has come a long way from 1990 to 2020.
