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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
