looks like the factory paint, 'super clear red' to me Al :D

Doubt it :D

Car looks like a '95 model (S1.5), Red only came out in S2. Also the colour "pops" to much in the sun, very pearly. My pics make my paint look alittle darker on my car; i would love to put the two cars side-by-side.

Al, FYI:

AN0- Super Clear Red

AR1- Super Clear Red II

I'm pretty sure the first one is your factory color...what i'd call burgundy, but Nissan Japan see it as super clear red....Super clear red 2 is a much rarer factory color

Doubt it :D

Here's some pics...1 is obviously a series 2, the other is a 1.5

Those 2 were actually owned by the same guy...I did some research on the color when I was in the process of buying my car, because I almost bought 1 in the color, and didn't think it was a factory color at the time, having never seen it before...Until I spoke to this guy (member on here) and he told me its a pretty rare factory color :D

I've got more photos of it on other cars as well...surprising how much it changes in each of the photos too...looks really dark in some, but put it out in the sun and its quite a bit different, and a much nicer red when in the light

Shes a fresh import, and the paint job was done around a month ago or so. Originally it was a maroon/burgandy colour and dont we all hate that stinkin colour :D (no offense to burgandy sky's out there).

The colour is more like a Ferrari red, very different from factory red colour that came out in series 2. When the sunlight hits the car, she lights/brightens up like a flower, looks much better in flesh these pictures dont do any justice. I cant remember the paint code now, but will get it some time soon.

If i see anyone copying my colour, i will come knocking on your door step :D

Thanks buddy, appreciate it :(

You car looks very clean. I personaly love silver, as it is the easiest colour to keep looking clean. Some nice rims (dark spokes and polished dish) would really set the car and colour off. :)

It has now been just over 2yrs since my car was painted, and am still very happy with the colour choice and workmanship. Due to normal driving and SAU motokahnas it has a few chips, but that's to be expected.

if u wanna see my sky check out http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MyProfile=Y oh and ignore the stupid burnout in my vid... it was just for fun i lost my licence and i needed to just screw around for fun in my car since i missed driving it... and if u dont wanna check out my page u can see a pic of my car in my display pic :happy:

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
