Hi there,

Well, it was bound to happen, the fence decided to attack the front bumber of my S2 Stagea. I wasn't driving, it was the missus. :cheers:

I'm looking for a bit of touch up paint in the form of a pen or small pot, whatever is best to cover up a couple of 3cm x 2cm scrapes on the corner of the bumper. Will i be able to find something in repco or autobarn? It's sonic silver right?

I've searched all those stores and bought 3 different silvers, none of which match

I think you need to go to a paint store and get them to make up some

Hmm... that's not good...

Any reputable auto paint supplier should be able to mix it up for you and put it in a pressure pack.

(KR4 has a few variants so be careful)

Is KR4 the paint i'm looking for then?

There's a definite slight Pewterish tint to the silver isn't there.

Depending on how big the scratches are, either just brush touch it up, or get a pressure pack, some plastic primer and some clear. Practise on something else first.... If the colour is right, it's possible to get it virtually invisible on a bumper corner. If the colours even slightly off, it'll look sh#thouse so go to a specialist autopaint shop, ie not autobarn repco etc.... I've done this a few times for people and charged them good money for it..... and I'm not a professional painter. Pm me if you want some tips :turned:

Hey yeah thanks for that, was wondering myself what the "Z" was, thought it might be some sort of shade or something.

Got some good tips from TimHeather too, will hunt for some paint this weekend.

I think you will find the "Z" is the interior colour spec, so not related to the paint, might confuse the paint guys so thought it was worth mentioning...

Nah... my driveway would eat that bar! Looks sweet though.

Or... You could just leave it slightly scratched, (pics?) and swap with me for my Dolphin Front Bar - already painted Sonic Silver! Let me know! Read my Thread!

I got some touch up paint in a small bottle with brush from local Nissan dealer - they needed a few days to get it in but it matches fine.

Cost about $12 or so, from memory

Yeah? Would they have Sonic Silver, being import and all?

They do have it as that is what I got, since mine is Sonic Silver

Just give them the paint code and they should be able to get it for you

Spoke to a large Nissan dealer in Adelaide and they said they don't and couldn't get the paint. Which dealer did you get yours from? Might have to get 1 sent.

Anyone know where I could find some QT1 touch-up paint in or near Adelaide (SA) ?

...can you even get the pearl white in touch up? Kind-of an interesting finish, all metal-flake and all, don't know if you can 'can it'? :)

bought in japan...

I thought x-trail might have come out in QT1 ?? Nissan usually sell touch up paint. If you were in brissie you could help yourself to mine.

Cool... is that Holts? Maybe one could order some through a Holts dealer in SA... hmm

Edit: going to try Nissan supplier... soon as I get the name off my compliancer

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
