Hiya people~ :devil:

was wondering if anyone here has any recommendation for a respray, looking at MATT BLACK or TOP SECRET GOLD. preferably not too far from the city. :P

-> idea in mind <- is to get an extra bonnet and trunk lid and have them sprayed in the above colours. so if any of you have a spare for a r34 GTT let me know please :D

and matt/satin black is overdone to

but you cant win them all Jamie

:down:

Over done cuz everyone thought it was a good idea to paint it on a Toyota Prius / Mazda MX5 (which I have seen) or any other car out there.

Some cars can pull it off not all.

Drift cars look good with it.

But only the Silvia / 180SX / R32 GTS-T.

You can pull it off on a R34 GTR / R35 GTR.

Lamborghini Gallardo / Ferrari 430 Scuderia / Porsche 964 / Aston Martin DB9 will look good in it as it has been done before.

Certain USA Muscle Cars can also pull it off, but not all.

1969 Camaro / Old School Hot Rods and Shelby Mustangs just to name a few.

It is a nice colour for a change, but when ppl catch on to it and think it is awesome for every car out there, that sells out the colour, which sucks!

A tough colour too, so when you have all that "Show" of a paint job, you should also have the "Go" in performance to go with it.

That's how I see it anyway.

If you do get the paint job go Matt / Satin Black.

Would look tuff!

Top Secret Gold is a little wank if it ain't a Top Secret Tuned car IMO.

yeah i like the look of MATT black :D

i like the gold of TS gold, it not your ordinary gold, and it looks sweet :)

Satin Black and if you are going ahead with it, make sure you get a decent ride height (lower it) / fitment and offset of wheels to fill out your guards.

Make it look tuff!

Don't half ass the job, cuz R34's can pull off the Satin Black.

:)

white or silver

:)

White is the backup plan if Satin Black doesn't go through.

Paintwork => MiColour, without any doubt. Quality does have a fair price though.

Have you considered vynle wrapping the car matt black? Saw it on a BA, at the F1GP-Autosalon stand, it looked awesome, especially with the carbon vynle bonnet. Being vynle wrapped also means you don't need to worry about stone chips, unless they're huge :D

Personally I think Matte Black, although a very awesome colour, always looks grubby, saw an R32 with it in the flesh and didn't look as cool as I would have hoped.

Matt black is like primer Haha!

And it can leave a lot of marks / stains everywhere as I saw a KE70 in Matt Black and it was a pig of a thing :P

Satin is better IMO.

While this topic is still floating around...

I did a search but didn't really come to any conclusion. What panel shop should I get my car resprayed at?

I was almost gonna take it to Exotic Panels but heard bad stories. Anywhere else that is relatively cheap ($4500ish) but not shit? lol

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
