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

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
