Hey guys,

There is a place in lilydale that has a big phat book of cars and their paint colors, and for $12 you can get them to mix up a 375ml pressure pak of your car color.....

Only problem is I ain't live in lilydale no more and I can't be a$$ed driving there from clayton, anybody know of somewhere else that offers this service?

Going to paint the little series 1 clear [skyline] panel from the boot....

:(

thanx

yes, yes i am :)

actually just rang holden in in lilydale and they stopped doing it 4 months ago due to new ohs regulations... so i guess im gunna have to get a big fat can and a compressor now :P

although im sure there is somebody out there who doesnt have the same ohs regs as holden so that can still help me :)

Dont know if its too late but EastCoast Auto Spares in Bentleigh area have this service [mix up a spray pak for you]. I think its about $15 but dont quote me on the price.

Its definately closer than lilydale. Its on North road, near corner of east boundary rd.

How does this stuff work? Do you spray it on out of a can just like a bought one? What are the results like?

Is it easy or difficult to blend it reasonably well with the existing paintwork?

I need to touch up my sideskirts..

My dad used one in Dandenong and for $25 they gave him 400ml of paint to match the car and this spray pak that is just a small aerosol can that screws onto a bottle. Just fill the bottle with some of the paint and spray it on.

Sounds like the same stuff dj_l3thal sprayed his dash with.. That came up really well.

I am just worried about the blending of it.. if its too difficult i will go dodgy and use a paintbrush and bottle of mixed paint/

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
