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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
