You can't go wrong with Midnight Purple 3. Love that color on GTRs.

I'm getting a paint job toward end of this year, going to go Orange with gold flake or a Orange with a red overlay/pearl for that sunset effect. But if I want to keep it looking "stockish" but still "sexy" midnight purple is the go.

Custom if it's going to be a show car is a great idea.

If it's just a streeter, then IMO a good paint job in a stock colour (even if it's not stock for a Nissan) is a good idea.

This is a good idea. Look at other stock colours from other manufacturers and it will definitly stick out on a car that does not usually have that paint job. But if you want to stick out even more than its as simple as sticking in a touch of pearl and you have a different look altogether,.

I hate gay custom colours..

I like subtle, whites, greys, black and reds, with a tiny bit of pearl.

White with blue pearl ftw.. or Black with Blue Pearl!!

Loving it. No Karimspec cars plz!

Have a look at my cousin's old gemi with Black with Blue pearl.. it looked rad!

Blue chrome ? any pics
Haven't seen any cars with this particular colour yet but, the helmet below would be the best example of what it looks like. It's basically several coats of clear chrome then blended with a layer of coloured candy paint.

AFAIK most of the coloured chrome is legal.

For factory colours - Nissan's Bayside blue is pretty nice, as found on the R34 GT-R's

The gold and silver would blind you on a sunny day :cheers:

Yeah more than likely :D the gold & mirror chrome would be illegal.

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
