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.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
