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.

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
