Hi all we masked up the car last night inside the doors and i am buying a liter of paint tonight to do my door jam's. The thing is what ever paint i buy tonight is the paint i am going to use to do the whole car so thats where you guys come in ill tell you what i was thinking and maybe someone can post their opinions thanks please no stupid shit.

I was considering 350z black as its a nice black its Forest Black i think, I considered this because i have seen a few 350z's that looked crazy when washed but now i am starting to think that its to flat and there is nothing special to the paint its just a flat black.

P's: I don't want pearls or custom colors that are going to give me problems later on i just wan a basic color off a black Nissan.

The second choice was the standard metallic black off the R32 GT-R this is nice and has sparkles in it which kinda put me off before seeing little colored sparkles through the paint but at least its got something to it and its not plain and boring so let me know what you guys think and i might be able to make a decision by 3pm unless my head explodes from thinking about it to much .. thanks

what colour is the car now? if its black rubbing down the paint now will be ok to go over it but if you are changing the colour of the car I would suggest priming the whole thing first. Just make sure you know what colour you want and go with that it, its your car so its your choice. Im a person that needs some kind of effect in the paint, it maybe metallic or pearl cuz plain colours dont do it for me sorry. Just take your time in deciding dont rush things it will still be there tomorrow :cool:

Any metallic paint will look awesome in the sun. Dont get a plain n boring colour.

In all honesty you should have chose and bought your colour before you started...easier that way

Good choice! wish I found this thread yesterday..

I agree, plain colours are just too.... well... plain.!

I love the Midnight purple my 33 is, how it changes colour a little but not heaps like some.

If I was getting a re spray it would be a dark metallic black over a dark cherry colour...mmmmm

Put pics up as you go and show us your progress..

good luck!

looks good man just need to use a proper mask even though you might not feel the effects, paint is fairly bad for ya health an investment into a good mask would be a good idea :( Other than that keep up the good work?

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
