Can anyone recomend some where to get touch up paint for a Nissan Stagea NM35 with paint code "KYO"?

Tried Repco and they had no idea.

Cheers

Andy

Have the same question... for any jap imported car. People at Aussie car stores have no idea... some idiots never even heard of nissan skyline before.

I doubt panel beater can make up a can of touch-up paint.

so when a panel shop/bodyworks repair a car what do they do for paint? 99.9% of panel shops have a paint system to which they can mix any colour they have a code/formulation for, and if they wont do it for the general public, which most wont, they will direct u to the local distributor which they buy there paints from, which will be able to mix and sell ur colour at request.

hey guys ive got a maroon 33 gtr any idea of that code???

take note of a few posts up where a fella has posted the picture of his plates and the next person has replied to the post with the code, refer with that code(believe it was 732?) back to the picture to see where it came from and voila, thats where ur code will be, its in the same place on 99% of all imported nissans.

I have a r33 1995, its colour is Polar White - QM1 but on page 1, I read that QM1 is not for skylines :|

yes qm1 is an r33 colour for skylines, it also exist on pulsars, x-trails and several other nissans, you can always believe write ups like that on the net, the code on the vehicle is the only one to believe.

what would the paint code be for the greyish colour which is painted on the bottom of R32 GTR front bar lips?

dont believe they ever kept a record of the grey but i may be wrong, best way to find out is to take ur vehicle into a car paint shop and they may check the code in there system, depending on there system it may come up with a bumper colour(dupont is a ripper for it).

Anyone know who can get the original Nissan paints from Japan, chasing MNPII for R34 GTR as we need it for a customer. If so, please pm me.

impossible, ud have to call nissan in japan, and if they spoke english they'd tell u what im about to tell u, grab/find the paintcode for the colour u want, go into a local car paint shop and quote that code and they will be able to mix the colour for u.

its 99% impossible to use the exact same brand of paint that nissan use on there vehicles, thats if they are like most other manifacturers, which put out tenders to paint companys i.e dupont, standox, glasurit, spies hecker, etc etc, saying they want 2000 litres of kh2 silver(or whatever it may be) the paint companies will come back with quotes, most of the time lowest quote wins, say it may be dupont, then the manifacturer will go and use the 2000 litres then bang, they need more paint, so they will do the same tenders, although this time another company might come up with a better price on the same colour, so the next 2000 litres may be done by spies hecker. this also be the reason for colour variations in cars, u and ur mate might have the same car with the same code, but swap doors of the cars and they might stand out like a sore thumb, because the paint was made by different paint companies, and say the 2nd company may not have made it as good as the first.

Anyone found paint codes for the RB26 rockers covers

codes for rocker covers and wheels and other removeable parts were never kept, take it to ur local paint shop and give them some time and they should be able to match something up for u.

hope this answers everyones questions about paints etc. as i work in one of these 'car paint shops' i get snowed upon with similar questions on a daily basis.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
