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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
