Yellow R33GTR...

I'm tempted. To paint my second R33 yellow, that is.

A little novel, yes, but I have seen the odd yellow one, I know it's not a stock colour, which may mean I have to mod the car slightly to make it look right, but hey.

Actually, I believe it was the R33 GTS-T Nismo LM, that can come in a yllow flavour, which may mean the need for me to fiddle with tailpipes and perhaps bumpers.

Comments? Or should I stick with Mica Red? :)

IMHO,

I have seen a couple of primary colour GTRs (red, bright blue) and they look a little "stink"

Silver, Midnight Purple, Black, Dark Dark blue - all look good.

I reckon metallics, and dark colours look the best.

However - each to their own and the Fast N Furious GTR looked pretty mean in yellow.

Its not R33 but it is yellow!!!...Personally im bored of red on cars and i try to avoid it - I say go for yellow!!!

Doesn't actually look too bad there...

Also, bear in my the R33 I'venearly finished is purple, so I wanted something to contrast it on the shelf, not another dark maetallic colour. Hence either red or, more risqué, yellow.

I say GO FOR IT :) :) ....Maybe with some chrome after market rims too.

I think yellow would look really good.

GO for it.

Yellow will look good IMO

:confused: Didn't I just post pics of a real R33 GT-R in here somewhere?

Oh yeah! Here:

I say GO FOR IT! :D :D :D

It was seeing that photo that jogged my memory ;)

Right then, aftermarket bits, which mufflers do you guys tend to use for the 'larger' look? :)

As for rims, I was thinkig I might get some Nismo ones, all have to come from HLJ, as the shops round here are pitiful. On second thoughts, the VeilSide rims look rather nice :)

about the color.......if you do paint it yellow.....how about some bronze rays engineering te-37's?.......those look sweet on yellow cars......i have a pic of it....but i dunno how to upload it........but it does look nice......

that's the link to the car.....i know it's no skyline....but it's yellow...it has the bronze te-37's .... so you get the point....looks nice eh?.....well i think it does...just an idea....:flipa:

if you're not sure of te-37's look at the signal auto SV version....it has te-37's but they're white...and the car is like midnight purple....it runs 8 sec in the quarter mile on street tires....:eek: :eek: ......and the SV stands for "street version"....yea rite...:rolleyes:

Nismo 400R,.... it's a R33 in yellow ;)

do a search on the net... you'll find some real nice pictues on it.

Nissan skyline R34 GTR currently out of production (probably its already out of production , or a few months left) only avaliable on the japanese market officially and only RHD... This one is heavily modded too... They have a 2.6 L turbo R6 wich produces even 1300 or more HP in some street cars , and 600 hp skylines aren't anything unusual...

I've just seen a Nismo 400R for sale here in the UK, asking price is £70,000 ($100,596 US, so I'm told) but it was blue.

As for the yellow, I was thinking a slightly richer yellow than the one in tenzoracerevovii's picture, almost like the Evo in Mr Primera's signature.

I think another HLJ order is on the cards ;)

Do a 400R; everyone will be mad at you for doing it first. :right:

Wel, the link is below, you can see for yourself :)

I made another HLJ order last night, bought some Nismo GTLM 18" rims, a large calibre tailpipe and, I'm such a sucker for online ordering, a Fujimi Veilside R33 :)

Not much of it's in stock though, so I'll hang fire on the yellow paint for a while, see which I think matches best. Trouble with the 400R, is the 'slightly' ;) aftermarket bonnet & front air dam. Perhaps we have a job for Mr flyonthewall?

Nismo 400R (http://www.blowdog.com/html/400r.html)

Did ya order the NISMO LMGT-2 rims from Fujimi? I ordered the same ones! I need to get my ass in gear and put them on a kit before you do :D :finger: :flipa: :finger: :flipa: :finger: :flipa:

j/k

I did, yeah :) :p

maybe i should make a Nismo 400r transkit for the tamiya r33??? Hadn't considered it before, what do u guys think?

It'd be great to see one, although from the looks of the 400R, it may require a totally reworked body... then again, you know more about it than me :)

Well from what i can see all thats needed is a new front spoiler, side skirts, new rear and a modified spoiler - unless i've missed something???
The whole conversion would be relatively simple...If i see a good priced R33 at the model show i'm going to at the weekend i may buy it and give it a go!

Ah it doesn't look too bad from that photo, the one I was looking at, the intakes on the skirts look enourmous.

Do keep us updated :)

I'd be first in line to get one! And hey! It's wearing my rims! :D
