Munkyboy - That is perfect! I wasn't thinking of a lighter silver than the bump strip but that works so well, in a factory kind of way! What silver did you use? Or it's just a colour from the chart?

I've got no idea what silver i used. it was just some random combination of RGBs. but i'm glad it helped you out :whistling:

I'm going to talk to a mate of mine who works in a paint shop. I want to try and stay with a factory Nissan colour, just for sheer simplicity! I need a pale silver, prefer metallic. He owes me anyway, I did his FMIC pipework for him for nothing!

Oh, my wife actually likes the white/yellow combo. Said it makes it look like a hot rod ('32 Hi-Boy paintjob!).

Cheers, Greg.

I'd kill for those rims! But the lower colour is a bit to bronze for my liking. Anybody got a sample of the R34 silver?

The more people are playing with these colour combo's, the sooner I want to fix up the dent and scratches and get cracking with the spray gun!

Cheers, Greg.

Spank spank!!!! Loving that 2nd pic!

I'm definately thinking the R34 Silver is the way to go!

And as for the graphics, sorry to say, as good as I am, photoshop work is thing I leave to others! I'm just purely retarded at that stuff! :whistling::)

I actually got the idea for the yellow from a hot rod haha... thats how i was going to paint my ford. I reckon seeing as you have to repaint it anyway, why not spend the extra few hundred and go that little further...?

But i understand... the missus... car away for one day etc... such a shame. Whenwhite over bayside blue looks so nice.... its KINDA factory colour!

Hello all, I'm not sure if you've got around to the respray yet, but I was thinking about a two tone Stagea amd found this topic. So you got me all enthusiastic so I've put 3 colour combo's together. I was thinking the lower colour would extend over the full rear of the car to balance it with the front...

First, time I've tried to attach a pic so I hope it works!

Cheers,

Jeff

Im liking the last one best. :)

tidy job with the photoshop. Why would you not have it follow the bodyline to the front...? Looks a bit sharper than my quick effort! Pity about the colours tho.... :-(

Id probably run a silver pin stripe with the yellow or blue ones i did.

Well there was already an example with the two tone following the bodyline, so it was just to be a tad different! :) I can do some more tomorrow, so if you have a colour combo that you'd like to see, its fairly easy for me to do since its all already cut out in photoshop. So a yellow or blue and silver or black? I'll give it a go and get back to you.

Cheers,

Fair enough jeff! makes sense.

Im actually about 2 weeks from buying a black or a silver series two (the model i photoshopped - note the different headlights) and would love to do something different on it like a half body two tone.

If you could do a neat white over bayside blue or chrome yellow, both with the silver pinstripe (probably only 7-8mm) thatd be awesome!

Not sure what youd go with a black... youd run the black as a bottom colour and maybe go a dark purple like the R33 GTR midnight purple on top...? Slightly lighter purple for the stripe?

What other colour could you go on top with black as a bottom? Maybe a light misty orange/silver colour....? With a darker orange in the pin stripe...??

Ok, firstly I better say that I did these recolours from pics of MyStag260's car, its a schmicho example and he had some good pics with the angles I wanted. So, I hope you dont mind MyStag260!! Anyways, I've changed the two tone line a little, which I think fits the body shape nicely, well, I like them anyways! Stagecoach, I've tried some yellow and blue for you too. ;) Ok, heaps of eye candy, apologies to dial-uppers....

Just thought I'd also add a more detailed custom respray job. If only I had the money.... Anywhays, here's whats been done. Brake lights have been lightly smoked, drivers window tinted, and a few inches of the roof, old school style :worship: I've also lowered the car somewhat and tinted the wheels to match the paint. Hope you like it all!

Here's my effort for your consideration. Thanks to RB26Stagea's car!! :P

Added new shade....

My car! What have you done?! That's the LAST time I use Valet parking!

Anyways, can someone do a pearl white with black roof - a-la-S13 style?? I have to have mine resprayed shortly, when I get the rust cut out of the doors, and was toying with the black roof and a/b/c pillars idea.

My main concern is what the rear hatch will look like with only the top half black: may be a little.....'dinky'.

Here's some raw material (with nicer indicators, tail lights and ride height, if I do say so myself!)

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
