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.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
