Hey guys and gals, my line is getting a full respray on the 10/10 but im currently unsure as to what colour to go with. Some suggestions to me so far have been:

Yellow with metallic flecks, similiar to the yellow on the new Mazda 6

WRX Blue

Possibly some sort of electric green with metallic flecks

I know this is kinda a broad range of colours but do any of you know of any specific colours out there that u think would go down well on a r32 gts-t??

I'd suggest you also go with a colour that isn't going to be hard to sell and doesn't decrease your selling market when the time comes.

I'm saying this from experience I've seen people have in the past when they've painted their car pink, and it decreases their sales market to mainly girls.

Just think of things like that when you are thinking of painting your car. Also remember that the current "Fad" is sparkles/flecks/glitter, don't do it just because it's the current trend, do it cause you like it. Also, remember with the future and selling it, are people going to want flecks/sparkles in their paint when time comes that you want to sell it?

Just some pointers if your thinking of changing the whole colour on the car.

yeah, all valid points. I think i will go with the flecks just because i dont think they will ever be disliked, possibly just not desired as much. I think yellow is out just because it will age significantly more than any other colour so im thinking some sort of electric green at this stage.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
