I love it!!!! Looks real nice, if you get a chance source some clear indicators for the front bar and the side panels. I have them on mine having swapped them over from the ornage ones. Mine is standard silver, and with the clear lights looks very nice. Black and clear would look primo. But the car as it is looks real good. Money well spent IMO!

mate i like the paint colour only two things about the car i dont like (and these are personal preferences so no offence) are the height it looks too high to me and i dont like white rims on any car especially one thats sitting as high as that.

the black looks good tho. did you get anything colour coded? like bump strips and the like?

dont mean to be rude but do you mind if i ask how much approx it cost and what they did for the bucks?

Happymeal : Clear indivators would be good. Could you please tell me where I can find some?

Silver GTS-T : It's Honda Back with a blue pearl on top.

McNamg : I totally agree about the height thing and as soon as I can afford it I'll get some adjustable suspension for her.

The paintjob set me back $4000. They prepped it and painted it.

There was a dent in the bonnet which they fixed and they found some rust when they took my rear view mirrors off so they fixed that too. They painted inside all my doors, Colour coded all the bumpers and strips and mudflaps but not the roof racks and they didn't paint underneath the bonnet or the engine bay.

They also painted my brakes red. I'm fairly happy with it.

Of the three decent paintshops near me they were the only one to quote me under $8000 so I didn't have alot of choice.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm with Glenn (mcnamg) here, and don't like the white wheels, and the height's a bit of an issue too, but considering you're already contemplating the suspension change, there's no need to go on about that.

Other than that, it looks like either a hot-looking panel van (with those super dark rear tints) or a Mafia/Yakuza-spec wagon. (Don't worry, the panel van comment is meant to be a compliment!!!)

If it was my car, I'd be throwing on some Black Chrome or Hyper Bronze coloured wheels.

Love it! Nice choice of colour!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
