nah, don't want to be repainting the whole side of the car if i scratch it

HAHA true true :blink:

I would never paint mine that colour, just love the look of it. Second choice for a 32 would have to be the black pearl but hard to match again for the same reason. Dam pearl colours, so hot yet so much work

pearls are easy to match just not 3 layers like whites lol. most of the 3 layers these days can be painted and matched like a normal colour. For example all the new mazda colours that are a 3 layer from the factory PPg still makes you paint them as a 3 layer but Glasruit which i use has them all as a single layer

ohk, i've picked a colour iwas going t go Midnight Purple but i saw a R32 GTS-T drive past that colour and it got me thining it might of been done to many times so i'm going with this colour (sorry about the pics it's hard to show the pearl on a small card in a photo but i looks really good and subtle)

dunno about that one mate, looks a little too pretty, but if you like it then thats all that matters. I guess it depends on what "look" you want as well. For example, do you want a show-car look, purposeful "look" or sleeper ??. I am in the same situation at the mo', trying to figure out what colour to go with for my BNR32. My personal opinion is that the GTR's are aesthetically really tough and masculine, and are suited to more neutral palletes such as Silvers, blacks, greys and white. My flavour of the week is the colour scheme of the R34 Z-spec (silver with black rims). Tough, understated and purposeful. Last week i was convinced on white. Week before i was considering midnight purple or millenium jade, so go figure, i cant make my mind up!! I may just end up leaving it in Gun Metal. :P

i'm keeping it blue cause i dont wanna do the engine bay ut if i was going to change the colour it would be going BMW moonrock, best silver out there imo.

I just want something different, dont want black as it's a pain to keep clean and this colour looks unreal on a car, we painted a VY SS ute in something like it and looked awesome

Cool. I have to say the blue is warming to me, as one of the toughest R32's (Calsonic) wears a simillar hue. I think white rims would really compliment the duco as well. :) Make sure you post pics when its done.post-38494-1220634365_thumb.jpg

yer was going to do the wheels white cause there gold atm and it look like the owner in japan was going for the WRX style which i'm not a fan of.

this is how it should look when it gets here:

was meant to be here today but has been delayed for some reason

Whatever colour you go for in the end, I'm sure you'll enjoy it heaps.

Me? I'd go Midnight Purple

...for 1 special reason besides lovin' that colour...

Nissan makes that colour so special, that anyone who sees it thinks, 'yeh that's a Nissan colour'

And if anyone wants a #2 reason... Even the hue of that colour changes depending on how the light falls on it.

Pics don't do it justice; 'cause you only have to move one metre this way or that; and wham! It's different!

:P

I just had my 32 gtst painted millenium jade.

its a really tough color but i now need to do a few more things to the car to make it look right. the thing with millenium jade is it needs a lot of black to contrast with. and orange looks dogs balls with it.

so i have done the following

rolled the rear guards over an inch

powdercoated the wheels satin black

headlights have been pulled apart and the insides painted satin black

the corner indicators have been replaced with clear ones

all trim has been painted black

darkest legal tint has been applied to windows

to finish it off it needs a black or carbon front splitter and a pair of 255-40-17 semis to go on the rear.

it should look subtle but mean when finished and i have been holding off on photos till it is all done

Sounds great, should look hot when finished. Make sure to post pics when finished.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
