Hey all,

I'm planning on painting my stock R34 GTT wheels but still a bit undecided about the colour. The car is sonic silver and completely stock, with stock silver GTT rims (current photos here).

The 'traditional' options would be either black or white, and the more out there ones either red or blue. Here's a photoshop (car is chopped lower in side shot):

What do you reckon? Any other options? Or leave as is? :D

Yeah i agree, the darker colours, black and a dark gun metal grey is fn cool! White doesn't do it for me and orange and blue errr.. definately not to my taste. Black and gunmetal are more timeless as well.

Hey bud,

personally in my opinion, white wheels look best on either white or strong coloured (e.g. blue, red, purple) cars, but black wheels look fantastic on any colour, especially weaker colours like grey or silver.

i also think if you do re-spray them, get them powder coated professionally, and make sure you get a gloss on the colour, the matte look makes the wheels look a bit too DIY and tacky, i've seen it in person and i just think a gloss black is the best colour for GT-t wheels.

oh and besides, any step towards the Z-tune is definitely a step in the right direction

Thanks guys, sounds like the consensus so far is black. I am still considering the white as well, haven't seen any stock GTT rims in that colour as yet.

Cheers for the pics Danny, the Z-tune looks awesome! It's gonna take quite a few steps to make my taxi resemble anything like that I reckon :D I am planning on painting the wheels myself (along these instructions) but I'll make sure to spend some proper time prepping them beforehand.

y dont u just leave them the stock silver color and go buy some rims bro????
don't waste the money on stock rims

Cos I quite like the design of the stockies, just not the colour :)

Plus I reckon I should be able to do a somewhat decent home job for around $150, can't really get new rims for that...

how much does it cost roughly to take it to a shop to do this?? And if any one knows any post up a recommendation

I've seen prices between $50-$100 per wheel depending on how much work is needed (repairs might be more still) and how much of the prep you do yourself.

Not really worth it for the GTT stockies I reckon, just saw a whole set advertised for $150...

Ok here's how they turned out, I went matte white for the wheels:

Apologies for the photo quality, we've been a bit short of sunlight recently...

I can't say I'd recommend DIY painting though, it's a lot of work. But I'm happy with the results :thumbsup:

    • I have seen a case where the starter motor shorting against the casing caused a massive voltage drop + so much EMI that it caused all the sensors to spew garbage data at the ECU. Test the battery to make sure it has acceptable CCA/capacity first, I have gotten "brand new" batteries before that couldn't even power a 10W light bulb without dying probably because it sat in a warehouse too long without being charged. Only easy way to diagnose this 100% is put an oscilloscope on the battery and also look at key sensors to see if there's any clues.
    • There's a bunch of smaller shops that don't quite attract Singer money but are still hiring from that same pool of labor. Those are the body shops that you go to when you can't afford a Singer, but your old Porsche needs some serious bodywork. You can't exactly take those cars to the usual insurance body shops. When I say restomod, I mean they'll do something other than 100% OEM/OEM-equivalent aftermarket parts R&R. In the Porsche world this would be stuff like taking a 50k 964, doing a bunch of deferred maintenance/unwinding the nightmares the previous owners did to the car because a lot of people that own these cars tended to be penny wise, pound foolish types, then maybe some relatively simple off the shelf modifications to things like suspension, transmission, engine, headlights, etc. and you've spent 130k USD. When even the worst houses in the poor neighborhoods are worth 1M USD and the nice houses in wealthy neighborhoods are worth 3-10M USD suddenly 130k spent on a 50k car seems cheap.
    • Hoping to get a few ideas to help troubleshoot this issue, I'll try to keep it short.  A mate popped the motor in his 2018 LDV T60 with the 2.8 turbo diesel motor. He swapped it and I was his phone a friend when he got stuck.  The new motor is in, however it won't fire. The battery is literally brand new, when you crank it the volts very quickly (say 2 seconds of cranking) drop to 8 volts and the engine stops turning over. Watching the belts, I'd say they move about 5cm before coming to a stop. We put a booster pack on, no change.  The only potential issue I'm aware of is, when we pulled the motor the grounding strap was still attached. The strap copped a thrashing before we realised what was going on. It looks okay-ish but it's going to be replaced to rule it out.  The main challenge is, I wasn't there for 90% of the work. This is his first time doing any major work on a car and he was learning as he was going. He thinks everything has been put back together properly, however I'm not entirely confident that this is the case.  It would be good to get some ideas about what else to check. The car isn't spitting any codes so that doesn't help.  I've attached a photo, because why not lol.   
    • I mean an N1 came with a minimal paint thickness compared to dealer models. It’s probably had a ton of vinyls and stuff possible a race paintjob or two over the years. you don’t buy an N1 for its stunning good looks or comfort 🤣 you buy it to send it and measure how much air you can get on the hill at Bathurst
