Hey all :D

I Have a r32 gtst 2 door factory black skyline, I just brought the car.

It has a fair few scratches as it has been sitting in a shed for 8 years :)

So i have decided to strip it and respray it. :) engine bay and all. the whole thing from top to bottom!

What colour do you think would look awsome?

Cheers :D

Your existing paint code is 732 is it not?

If you're going to make this a DIY project and have budgeted to gut it to the shell, I'd stick to an existing R32 Colour.

My pick would be TH1 (dark blue pearl) or #2 pick is AH3 (red pearl)

If your budget is tight and you're having second thoughts about stripping everything and the engine bay isn't too dull to detail properly,...

my pick would be the R34 colour GV1 (black pearl)

my 2c

my paint code is:

732 G

732: BLACK PEARL

G: DARK GREY

According to a link on this forum.

Well yes but no budget

Im a mechanic and do all the work myself including spray paint! :)

go the midnight purple. it is by far, the sexiest colour you can get on a skyline. ive seen one in person, and oh man.... i woulda married that colour of i possible :)

it would be a good choice in my opinion. and im the type of person who only likes black cars :P i say midnight purple.

midnight purple 3 is expensive shit the paint alone is like $7,000 (whole car) i read that somewhere not sure if its right correct me if im wrong. if you decide to paint it Midnight purple like the ones i showed its $118 Per Litre due to its red/violet pearl mix and that would be the LP2 R33 colour. i have an R33 in MP and iv bought paint to respary my front bar that's how i know the price.

    • Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅  
    • Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.
    • That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.
    • Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.
    • I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
