Hi all, that time is come where my car needs bodywork done and a full respray.

my question is, to keep it gun metal grey or not?

the guy who is going to paint it says he will put some pearl in the grey to make it a bit different.

had a vertex kit, but going type m front, standard sides and back :)

its pretty tempting to go black, but heard it scratches badly and shows dirt really easy....

what are your thoughts?

has d1r 18x10s all round hypersilver (silver with polished lip)

Dont wanna pay the money for the respray if i regret not changing colour!

any help appreciated, Chris.

Haha I'm in the same dilemma....gun metal grey and I want a respray.

But I'm going to stay with the gunmetal grey, looks really nice when it's new, plus that means you can get away with hyper orange te37s

XD

I did think of going white though......or even millennium jade.

I suggest just the usual midnight black. Very tough and nice but hard to keep clean.

Silver is nice too but doesn't look very sporty (in my opinion) but always looks the part and has a formal look to it which is nice also.

Matte black in my opinion is not nice as it makes the car look 'flat' and 'tired' and is hard to keep clean also.

At the end of the day, it's your car mate.

Cheers.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
