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

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
