hey boys and girls

I am currently adding all the exterior styling bits and pieces onto the car and will shortly do a respray once all is done. Few things still have to be done like bonnet, grill, extended and modified guards, flip up doors and maybe new deep dish rims but that will not affect the color decision anyways. Can you guys give me some opinions on wat colors will look good as I am trying to collect as many thoughts. I made a comparison image in photoshop so feel free to check it out and tell me wat u think... =)

thanks guys

there we go, just added apoll to help ya keep track of the opinions.

I like 3,4,6,13 and 16 because they are rare colours on an R32,a nd they actually look good.

I also like 11 because its so red... lol

Nice photo shopping skills there.

It's not an easy choice though all the colours you picked are mostly good looking.

I voted red because as funky said it is so red.

I also vote chuck those wheels and get some phatties :(

Puh-leese post up pics when ya get the doors done etc!

hey 2 GU UP i just checked out your images. Is the dash painted or is it leather retrimmed? How hard is it to take the dash off and if leather re-trimmed did you do it yourself or someone pro?

Thanks for opinions guys. I think I will go for something yellowish/gold like 5, 6 or 16. Just bought some yellow/black leather sports seats so thats the way to go.

As for rims can it handle 19s or 20s without busting and ripping the guards from inside? I got TEIN suspension lowered I think 2 inches but is adjustable. How much could I get trade-in for my current 17s do you guys think?

pulled the entire interior out myself as well as everything else in preperation for the respray.

the dash and everything else is retrimmed in leather

Master Autotrim did the work on the car

In mine and most people who know about interiors opinions Louie is the best in the business. you get wat you pay for.

ive got 20s for my car but i have GTR front and rear guards with the inner front guards removed

19s shouldnt be a problem though

how much is it to retrim the whole interior (exclusing seats) on r32?

how did u manage to put GTR rear guards on a GTS? was it welded on?

price on a retrim depends on many things...leather or vinyl

, basic standard trim or custom one off work, quality of the materials.

my trim is worth about 8-10K including seats that includes alot of custom work and a mix of leather and suede

so i guess for everything excluding the seats probably 4-6K

as for the GTR rear quaters the old ones were cut off and the new ones welded on. the job is almost perfect looks factory for thoes who dont know the car and wat it is/was.

i think no.4 looks the best. plus you would never see another skyline around with the same colour. yeah you must change the wheels. but even more importantly change the front bar. get something less in your face and that compliments the flows of the 32. then the car will look really tough. oh and dont bother getting 19s. 18s still look big on 32s plus they are not so stupidly priced.

yeah, go camouflage styles, paint it in 4, get black semi transparent vinyls (rice, rice baby) and COMNDO numberplates... will look nuts. Optionally make th passenger side dor downward folding and put a sliding gun turret in where the passenger seat is.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
