The is car is 95% in undercoat. Next step is to colour the back of all the bolt on panels and the door jams.

Need to decide on colour by this Saturday

Choices

Bayside Blue or Ford Breeze

Help me decide!!!!!

i'm not sure if i like ford breeze although i'm sure it will look good and would probably get my vote over bayside blue.. it's just so overplayed these days although god damn hot

The problem I have with bayside blue is it a factory colour and half of all nissan that get a custom respray use bayside blue.

In Brisbane I have only seen 3 cars in the ford colour, a R32, 180sx (both with white wheels) and a XD falcon. All looked pretty good.

Also looking at off loading the R34 gtr wheels for some Rays GT-C's in gold. Either 18's or 19's

My mates got his s13.5 painted a very similar colour to that breeze and all kitted up and it look insane. :)

another vote for ford breeze i think it will suit the stag perfectly.

I hope so, I started painting it yesterday morning

Next step is to refit doors and hatch, prime front bar and a few other parts and then it will be ready for the the full respray

I think the car will not be too stealth with this colour.

I can hear the comments now. . .man that is a bright colour on that volvo.

Can't wait for a cruise when it is finished

Currently trying to get it finished for the VW Jamboree on the last weekend of August

If the weather is good over next few weekends, it will be all painted ready re assembly

Hopefully get the new turbo on and sorted before the Jamboree as well. That's the plan.

Myles, who is doing the Nistune tuning?

lookin good darren about time you got that front end conversion finished its been a while :P Colour is good choice, bayside blue has been done to death and as you said of all the choices to go with a factory nissan colour would be a waste. Definately gonna get some looks now!

It's definitely unusual, but I like it. I can't wait to see the car in a more complete state so we can get a full picture of how it will look.

Good work so far, Darrin.

It is a hard colour to photogragh. I took them at night under lights. Needs to be seen in the sun light

15 years ago I had a TA22 celica show car painted in a similar Ford Everglad from the EB falcon with gold simmons B45's.

It appeared in 3 different mags and the colour looked crap compared to real life. All 3 photo shoots were done either early morning or late avro with near no sun light.

I actually spotted a new Ford in this colour today (you made me look!) I think it will look good, it will look like a show car though, that's a given. Can't wait to see this finished though, it has been a long road :)

  • 3 weeks later...

Update - Every thing turned to shit on the weekend

Car is now all fully primed and rubbed down with 600 grit.

Picked up the car trailer Friday arvo to take it get painted and final rub down with 800 on Saturday for a 6.00am start.

Got a text 9.00pm Friday night saying can not do the car tomorrow. I was shatted!!

My painter mate's boss spat the dummy big time and he can no longer use the the booth on weekends.

Now tring to find another booth or maybe a new painter. If I get a new painter it be at least 2 weeks till they can fit me in

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
