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

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
