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!)

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
