I don't suppose anyone would know who Nissan Japan use to manufacture their paint.. For example BMW use glasurit. Athens Blue B21 definetly isn't PPG or Standox, as even the best painters in Adelaide cannot match my front guard 100% same colour as the rear bar.

I had splash guards painted by a local auto spraypainter, and I can't tell any difference between them and the colour of the panels. Mine is silver, paint colour KY0.

However, they said the paint code is not enough, they needed my car for half a day to mix the paint to match.

The Athens Blue has an insanely technical red and green flip. I had reputable Lexus & BMW repairer have it for 2 weeks, prior to that another place. I'm not happy; no one can get it perfect. I just discovered...... Glasurit’s online colour lookup has my Athens Blue (US) / Fountain Blue (Japan) codes under their Glassurit Line 90 & 55 which is quite positive! But i’m not willing to throw cash around like it grows on trees, might wait a while and get them to just spray samples for me..

Paint matching takes time because cars this age are rarely the same colour as when they came out of the factory. There's fade and other issues to take into consideration so a good paint shop will use the colour code as a base guideline.

also, if it's an old chromatic colour, then it can be near impossible to match. Heard of a particular MP3 R34 GT-R needing a colour matched panel because someone drove into them. $12k repair bill - the other guy's insurer would not have been pleased!

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
