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

deepest black i would love to get my hands on hehhee

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.

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
