Just a quick gotcha - Sonic silver (not the actual code 'KR4', but the name of the colour) is used post 2002, but is a different tint. Be sure to use the code & the name when obtaining paint.

oh ok. i thought that was the name for the silver on the R34's and S2 stagea's. what is the name for the silver on the stagea's then?

this site is usually a help but doesn't list sonic silver. nissan colour codes

Sorry, I may not have explained properly;

KR4 (Sonic Silver) is the correct colour for the C34.

BUT

There is another Sonic Silver used in later model cars that is not correct (I don't know the code offhand).

any idea where to get some KR4? ive tried two nissan dealers here in adelaide another paint supply place and they can't help me. Ive got a reasonable scratch in the front quarter panel i need cleaned up and would rather have the panel panted rather then just touched up.

help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :down:

I bought a 1 litre a while ago for a series 2 to respray the engine bay. Only used half of it. No longer need it, but I am in Brisbane

Just the 2 pac base coat alone was just over a $100/litre in a good brand

Any car paint supplies should be able to mix it up.

According to Glasurit paints there is one version from 1996-2002

I've only recently bought a small pot of touch-up and one pressure pack (with clearcoat mixed in) from Lonsdale Paint Supplies. I just asked for some KR4 Sonic Silver & a day later it was ready.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
