Are you sure that's it's black & not dark metallic blue?

My RS-X is red & blue, which are both Nissan colours that my paint shop got from their books, apart from that the paint code is written on the build plate.

I dunno about blue??? All the pics of RS turbos I've seen look solid black (ie not metallic) to me under the bump-strip trim.

I used Beacon Red and Jet Black on my HR. Let's face it, its not an original RS turbo, it really doesn't matter if you don't have the exact colour. If you are doing a full colour change, it matters even less. I could get the paint code I used if you want - there are about 4 or 5 different Datsun Beacon Reds.

and FWIW, I don't think the paint codes on these old Jap Imports mean much according to the Aus specs Nissans paint codes in the books. According to the paint code off my HR30, its white. And trust me, I've painted enough cars to know this one was never anything but red.

Harry,

According to all my beaut R30 sales brochures, the red is 013 and the black is 375.

I used Beacon Red 34224, it was the closest match for unfaded sections of the original paint. And generic Jet Black.

so the r30 in the photo is beacon red?

i have come to the conclusion that its going to be beacon...LOL

i have a s110 gazelle in beacon ppg 2 pack and it looks good i was just worried what it would look like with black 2 tone.
