I'v spent days looking on paint and car site's so hard to choose a colour that i like and will suit my car so im thinking of mixing it up (adding a pearl or base) so im thinking candy blue with pink pearl, a lighter candy apple red with more gold,monza red with gold pearl or metal flakes and the famous orange with gold pearl.

my car has

trust frount bar

4 door lights

eye lids

vented fenders

c/f jet speed bonnet

400r side skirts

400r rear bar

gtr wing/with nismo end caps

and 18s

I like all those candy colours :)

Orange with gold pearl is really nice a mate had that colour on a R33 then sprayed it a pinky/purple and thats even nicer....

I reckon mix up an original color aswell

Quite a few of the drift cars have the camouflaged airbrushing.

This colour would be better suited to evade police detection:

What do you think?? It's called Stealth :worship:

Would however luv to see a R33 with candy blue or even blue chrome :D

I wanted to paint my car snow camo or desert camo. But then thought about the police getting all excited when they see me coming.

So oh well.

I think paint it black with a pink pearl in it.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Or KAHKI.

should paint it "chrome" was watching the drifting on sbs yesterday and there's an s15 in the da rounds now that painted "chrome" and who's he sponsored by? Austosalon of course, haha!

but seriously i've always loved the r33 GTR purple!

just go with what you want and don't let anyone influence you, as long as your happy thats all that should matter!

I was just doing more searching on the net and found a sick colour harlequin, always been told you can't just paint one panel if you damage it cant see it being true and im sure pricers have come down big time with this paint.

also from what ive heard with custom colours insurance can be an issue

mate was goin to buy a datto 1600 from nsw, had a house of kolor paint job

couldnt get comprehensive insurance quoted here because of the paint being so expensive

Its not paint.

I have been told its just stickers all over the car.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
