hehe thanks n15mo :D

Nah I got the spoiler to go with the kit and I plan to go back to the track again and I need something for the extra downforce in the rear...

Plus its a CF URAS spoiler not a stockie :no:

hmmmmmm I think I had some pics of it ages ago in my old pc...but it died...not sure if it is in the pics I salvaged before it died though...ill check tonight...at work atm.

I think if your going to have some nice dished wheels or white or bronze etc than yeah the metallics will work well with it, but I got black wheels with dish with the intention of getting the car resprayed in the blackest black money can buy....

As for what kit I got....hehehe ill post up pics when im done :nuke:

Its a genuine item from Japan though....and its costing me an arm and a leg to get it over here but im hoping to the first if not only GTT in the country with it...well at least a genuine kit :O

I know the feeling been first aye. I've waited more then 4months on my bodykit from japan to come in then another 4months for the widebody kit to come in, i know the feeling mate. oh by the way the kit i got its GENUINE URAS D1 spec widebody kit.

hehehe nah mines different yet again :unsure:

yeah mine should be ready in another month or so.....

Part of me wishes I hadnt ordered the kit as ive been tempted to buy an R32 GTR lately...but oh well too late now ! :P

my advice. black with blue pearl is not 'different' or unique. i know of plenty of cars that have had this combo. in my mind it looks a bit tacky. a nice gloss black with an extra coat or two of clear on should give a nice deep colour. even a little bit of metallic if you want.

yeah, it's 99% going to be factory black with some more metallic, for a bit more interest in the sunlight. I like the idea of a bit more silver showing up in some light, and i think a few more metallic chips can do the job rather waste money on a silver pearl.

plus, as you can see, the side skirts and rear bumper are probably going, so if it's factory black, it's going to match other ppl's cars.

So, what is the factory black paint code for a R34? GV1???

Yep, DT Panels are looking after me at the moment :laugh:

hhmm...........

very hot 34 shonen

Depending on the condition of your paint work, if your still happy with your paint work and want something different head over to Paint with Pearls.

They are an american company that make really nice perals that are applied in clear coats with outstanding results.

So all you have to do is have your car resprayed in clear again, will be alot cheaper that full respray!

The colour I ordered on my Tiida is called "Sapphire Black" (B20) I like it alot it's black but with a bit of a bluey metallic fleck through it. Looks real nice when the sun hits it.

a mate of mine on his rx3 sedan has gloss black with a gold perl, looks trippy, note the added f**k around if u do scratch ur car when its got perl in it

Edited by dead32

pearl isn't happening boys and girls. Got some body kits parts that i'll most likely sell, so it's GV1 with maybe a little tweaking, we're going to see how it goes. The option is a little more metallic, but i'm not sure if i want to keep it looking as black as possible? wondering whether extra metallic might take away from that a bit..

Tiida a newish nissan? a small car? Sounds nice, might have to check their website or something...

Hey just alittle word about paint jobs, the best paint jobs are from factory.

All the guess work is takin out of spraying cars in a factory as its brand new steal and the spray gun is automated.

So dont be unhappy if your paint work is not as good as a factory paint job.

Definately agree with that. Then again, if the workshop is good and your willing to spend the $$$ then it can look even better than factory.

Do the car straight jet black, just had mine done and couldn't be happier.

Hi Guys,

First time poster, I honestly do not know anything about car paint, however my R34 is red and I want to do something with the colour, maybe respray with a pearl, can someone outline my options when it comes to working the car colour?

Look forward to any reply.

Nick

If you have the cash I definitely recommend using house of kolor candy coats. We have a 1963 Buick Riviera with a $13000 paint job, crazy application method by a hotrod painter though.

Silver Base Coat to make it reflective.

Black Over the silver base

Chilli Candy Over the Black

Eggplant Candy Over that

Chilli Candy Mixed with Clear

Eggplant Candy Mixed with Clear

Clear.

End Result is a paintjob that looks unique from every angle.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
