Hi everyone,

In 2 weeks I'll be putting my car in for a respray. The only issue is I can't decide what color to go with - Lexus ISF blue or Audi white (like the one found on the A5 or the RS6). Just wanted to get your opinions - oh and the car that is going to be resprayed is:

I'll be changing the front bumper back to the series 2 front bumper with a Viva garage BL type lip.

Thanks in advance for your feedback. :thumbsup:

Dont narrow yourself down to just two options man. Head into the paint shop thats doing the work or just your local paint supplier and ask to have a look at their colour cards. You'll spend hours just flicking through colour after colour wondering what she'll look like. Trust me, I get sucked into looking at them for a while at work every now & then!! Check out some of the euro colours, ie: BMW, Audi, Porsche, Lambo. They have some great colours available. Just my 2c anyway. Keep us posted on what you decide man

i voted other.

there are SO MANY different colours to choose from these days. not just custom colours, but manufacturers have HEAPS to choose from too.

go look through a BMW catalogue, or even jump on the USA nissan web site and have a look.

dont limit yourself to 2 random colours.

Thanks for the input everyone. I guess the reason I narrowed it down is because I'm already partial to these two colors. The sepang bronze is beautiful but I think it would only look good on a skyline that has more extensive mods.

The day of the respray is looming closer...decisions, decisions!

Completely forgot about this topic. At the end, after tossing and turning and looking at different color cards as suggested, I decided to go for the audi white. Looks simple and clean and it won't be a color that will go "out of fashion" so to speak. Here are some recent photos of it after the respray:

Checkout DNA paints you'll change your mind lol

Based in melborne

The blue sapphire candy is nice , intense blue

Diamond clear it

Would be stunning

White a good one is 88 rx 7 anniversary white

Rare colour its whiter then white when sprayed on white primer , its so white it picks up the blue tint in street lights at night like a candy Blue

My old rx was painted that way . Its hard to describe but on white primer its crazy white , the factory used grey and thats still whiter then qm1 white nissan , most likely repaint my r34 next year that colour its WOW for a non pearl white

Pearl white looks nice but is a pain to keep nice

Had a pearl white and candy blue toyota truck , forget touchups on pearls and candys its near impossible

Love the blue and s3 purple 34's but unless my car was stripped bare i wouldnt change the colour to far from current imo

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      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

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
