This thread was made for me! You can't keep it to wagons though, if you are looking for inspiration I would look at everything for style, content and application. Have a look at sport trucks as this is an area where customisation is at it's extreme.

I've got lots more saved up... What are you thinking Darrin?

Wow some of those graphics are pretty insane. That Lamborghini with the graffiti is pretty cool never seen that before. I hate to think what some of those paint jobs cost though. Probably more than the cars in some cases.

Nothing that fancy. Not looking for a autosalon car, will still be a daily driver

I need to paint 80% of my car anyway, so I was thinking a non factory colour.

I have done 7 full colour swaps before on my previous cars. It is a bit more work, but it is worth it.

I like blue's and have considered going bayside blue to stick with the Nissan theme.

Previous cars in blue have been ford cabolt blue on a series 4 RX7, subaru wrx blue on a AW11 MR2 and ford blueprint on my r33.

I am not sure if a darker or lighter colour will suit the bigger car. Might need to check out the new HSV wagons for an idea.

Hmmm I reckon thats a bit too blue Darrin, the Stagea being such a big car I reckon it needs a subtle shade.

I really like dark colours e.g. dark Purple / Plum or Black. Also I have seen some really nice BMW colous lately that I reckon would suit the Stagea Silver Gray Metallic and Sparkling Graphite Metallic the second one looks awesome in the flesh kind of changes colour slightly in the light.

I am thinking maybe a darker colour on the bigger car, something like a dark charcoal metalic

My current R34 gtr bonnet is that dark purple rare nissan colour. Sort of suits the car

I'll be doing a spray job on my car - BUT will keep it Pearl White

want to fix up the mirror areas, a cple of body touchup areas, then pearl white with heaps of purple/electric-blue pearl

just to make it look sparkling, and would be the last final job on the car (prior to bottom end, hehehehe lolz)

heres my r31 wagon with the new look "cherry cola" black with red pearl... should be finished soon its been 5 years in the making... i painted that in the shed and it still needs a buff so go easy on me

Is this colour too gay?

Lambo orange or ford TX5 electric orange

I need to consider resale as well.

I don't mind it, I spose "some" might claim it's a bit gay but they probably think anything other thank black or white is a bit gay :D

It's a bright orange without being too bright, even a sun burnt orange might be a nice colour choice :blush:

Until you see it on your particular car though it's hard to tell :sick:

WHAT THE HELL!

if your considering resale, forget that colour!

unless you wanna sell it to some sick and twisted person over here in Dandenong who thinks painting there skylines and hondas s200 and even Gti-R in lime green and lambo orange is cool well best of luck to you mate.

As long as you like attention then go for it, put some 20s on it to like the one in the first pic that thing is cool. Also I don't reckon it will affect resale too much if you look at a whole car for what it is. For exampl I wouldn't pay $100 for a 1600 mitsi lancer with a cheap arse body kit and a candy pink paint job. But a one of a kind stagea / skyline with quality mods throughout good paint and kit is worth paying a bit of money for in my book. Some of the big car makers are thinking this way too look at the ford fpv colours or the Porsche GT3 colour options.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
