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.

    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
