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.

Yeah so true ;)

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
