Custom Colour Options For Factory Black Paint?


Recommended Posts

I reckon this car looks nice as, the guy who owns it is on these forums but he's in the states can't remember the username though but he would be able to give you more info about the paint job.

isnt he in canada

budget is fairly tight, so we'll see how it goes. I might just add more metallic chips. How much you get em for ni?

might pop down to subaru in mentone on the weeked and have a look at the black, sounds interesting :/

not sure about green though :rofl:

is the nissan clear coat thing just a gimmick? does it really work and what $$ are we talking?

ordered em off ebay for like $15 delivered from the US.

the candy red was about $20 delivered from the same place

i guess the extra $200 isn't in extra equipment then, must take a fair bit more time to add extra metallic/pearl in. I thought metallic/mica would just be mixed in and sprayed as per normal? i can understand extra work with pearls but flakes??

ok ppl's, car is in, Vu said i've got till tuesday/wednesday to decided on colour.

will try and make a trip to subaru to check out the black you guys are raving on about, and maybe even get a paint code. Might also have a squiz at BMW (work above Kingsway BMW)

i'm very keen to see a black car with silver pearl/silver chips/flakes whatever you want to call it. Vu (guy at DT Panels) said it's hard to see on a black car, so it might not be worth the extra $200, but i'd still like to see it anyway. Anyone know of any examples? willing to drive round a little to have a look...

that auto-salon type pic looks super sparkly, don't think i really want something like that. I don't mind metallic, but that looks like adding a million 5 cent pieces

EDIT: What about black with WHITE pearl? if silver doesn't show, white might? or is that just a silly idea?

hehee, dude, that's blue. I need black WITH something... it's staying black, but just black with what? that's the question...

now, what are these dark flakes marcus?? hmm?? :)

Vu at DT Panels is looking after the beast (well, stock as a rock, meh... :D) i've got till bout Tuesday to decide on a colour... i'm getting a lot of ppl say Matte and Satin black... i started a thread before about it and the idea was shot down. Not that is the be all and end all, but i'm wondering why the change of ppl's minds?

I must admit, i have seen FnF 2 or 3, did i miss something from those movies? :(

hmmm... decisions, decisions...

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
