So $650/L for a Funny Colour Datsun...

:down:

Yes it is a nice colour too.

I presume that's Nissan prices. Yes the MP colour are f*king expensive, but there are paint shops out there that can replicate the colour. I had to make up the colour to paint the skirts and pods and spoiler and it was a fraction of the price of Nissans.

Black is a pita if you're a fuss owner, I am and I've had a couple of black cars, drove me nuts, never again.

White can look tatty if it's not clean but it's a blender so if you don't want the attention that could be your cuppa and you could unblend it with carbon bonnet/boot & Black 18" Drift teks.

Red --in the eye of the beholder .

For resale ? hmmmm, silver, if it's minty, it's got like a faint purple pearl in the finish looks great but then again thats the colour of my R34GTT so I wouldn't be attall predjudiced -ah -hem.

:down:

Theres also a battleship very dark grey thats classy looking.

i honestly can't decide which i prefer.. my car is white but i'd take any of those 34 GTRs in a heartbeat.

as far as resale goes, i think bayside blue would be your best bet as it was sort of the 'hero' colour for that model

How was the match for the MP colour ? I didnt think nissan would actually sell the paint i had a huge drama couple years ago trying to match the bayside blue TV2 on my 34 GTR when painting some mirrors and side skirts, car went back to the shop several times, in sunlight the match was perfect but when you got it in the shade or undercover the new paint was several shades darker

Avoid the chamelon MNP colours I think, just too much hassles and the changing colour paints are so 90's fad...it's gone now.

Obvious bias for me was the Bayside blue, mainly because that's what I picture a R34, much like I picture a R32 with gunmetal grey and R33 with MNP.

Blue does stand out a bit though because it says "I'm a GTR" which can be annoying. I would say the best colour for resale as when I was looking I wanted a BSB.

Black looks fantastic but, as with my other black car, it's too hard to keep clean constantly. If you are the type that cleans your car every week then that's not really a problem because it'll stay clean often.

Lighter colours like White and Silver are easiest to keep clean and it stays inconspicous and often mistaken for a garden variety R34.

True, did they match the colour spot on?

Im very picky as most of you guys would be with your cars. The match was almost 100% to my eyes so I was more than happy.

Not a good pic but you get the idea

Wow!

Does look spot on. :(

Which Midnight Purple is yours?

LV4 - Midnight Purple II

LX0 - Midnight Purple III

You obviously gave the paint code to the spray painters...

Black!

Speak with a few importers and they'll tell you black is 1 of the hardest colour (other than MPs) to get and normally you'll pay a premium for them. And if you've been watching carsales, black ones dont stay on for too long. Colour is just 1 factor and I agree that you shouldnt discount a mint white one over a beaten black.

I did supply the paint code to the painters but their first attempt wasnt too good. They took a while to get the colour right.

Here are some! :D

I think that white did it for me. The BS blue looks good but it just looks good in the picture per the contrast with the other colors. Silver is by far the easiest to maintain. My 350z is chrome silver (same as the Z-tune) and it seems to only need a wash twice a year but I don't think I'd go with that color.

I think I'm the only person that doesn't like the purple... I don't know why. I doesn't look aggressive to me... It just looks fruity.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
