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

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
