I got a small scratch on my car few weeks ago and the actual job is like 600 bucks at panel beaters (too much bs involved). Anyway they agreed to pay me 400 bucks to settle it cos it was not my fault.

I went to Nissan dealer today, they got my car's (silver R33 S2) paint code and said (surprise surprise) its no longer available. At the same time in their workshop I saw silver 350 Z... the paint looked identical to my car's. Its called "platinum." I got a tube of it for 16 bucks from Nissan. Does anyone know how close is silver R33 S2 to 350 Z paltinum paint? Im gonna pocket the 400 bucks...

Whoever the panel beater is should be able to match it up to your existing paint I reckon. There are quite a number of different silvers in the Nissan range...depending on the area ur touching up...you might not be able to tell the difference but then again might stick out like dogs balls.

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
