Does anyone have any idea where I could find the paint code for the stock nissan 180sx purple paint.

Although purple 180s seem very different colours in different pictures depending on lighting this i am fairly sure is not the right colour.

This is advertised as pearl but i'm fairly sure is the right stock colour.

This car is definately the right colour.

I need someone who has this colour to read the nissan information plate which looks something like:

.................Nissan Motor Co LTD Japan

............................E-HCR43

Chassis No: HCR32-016693

Model: RCR32GASM AA

Colour code: KG1 G 130

Engine: RB20DET 1998 cc

Transmission / Axle : RE4R01A RC43

And tell me what their "Colour code: KG1 G 130" says.

So far one person has quoted it as LN1 which doesn't seem to make sense given that matches with 'Concord Grey'.

It is 100% a stock colour :happy: know several people who have the colour.. comes on later model 180sx :). I don't doubt the color is in the paintcode thread.. but how the heck do I find out what the name of the color actually is?

KK I have determined that the SAU paint code list is quite short for silvias :miner:. LP2 red/blue pearl is the 180sx type-x purple, from simple deduction the only other purple paintcode which was around during the right time frame is LP1, grey/purple. The name sounds right but I can't find any conclusive evidence that this is the right code, can anyone point me towards enlightenment?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
