Yellow on a r34 will look "vibrant and fun" - but you'll have to fork out $3K or more for a proper and professional job.

3k isnt that bad... i was expecting abit more. im thinking of doing the gtr front conversion and then just getting it fitted not sprayed and then when the rest of the body kit is done then get it all sprayed together... does that sound normal lol?

3k is pretty cheap I would bank on the 5k mark and anything less would be a bonus .

I also guess price would be depending weather its a colour change or same colour as inside edges would need to be done if its a colour change and this is where the price would go up .

Also with the body kits they take more time and a fair amount of materials .

Go yellow just to spite everyone that said to go blue :banana:

Remember, you get what you pay for. Your looking at around $5000 for a decent job although some places may do a decent job for less $$$. Just ask to look at previously painted cars that they have done to compare price with quality.

I vote yellow also...

depending where you go and the amount of body work required will also effect the price.

Bayside blue is a 3 layer colour and it is VERY difficult to match again so it will be the more expensive option.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.

      Run it in open loop for now, and drop the frequency down. This lowers the resolution and requires more duty cycle to do anything, however good to troubleshoot.
