Hey all,

I was just in sydney the other week with my mate and we saw this awesome R34 GTR and it was painted in the BEST purple i have ever seen, it was kinda like the purple on the new falcons, but a bit lighter and way better.

Does anyone know if this is a factory colour and if so do u know the paint code or whatever is used to identify it, because my mate is a spray painter and is going to respray his car and wants a good purple, and this sure was good.

Any light anyone can shed would help heaps

Thanks

I cant ermember what the plates were but i am pretty sure they werent moove, it was in an import yard on parramatta road, it was sweet. I just thought i read somewhere that there was this purple colour that came out like in series 2 R33's, which means it might be that midnight purple, did they keep that colour going for the R34's?

thanks again guys

It is Midnight Purple...

its NOT midnight purple II

it IS an aftermarket paintjob

i know this for a fact if you sit that car next to RH9 you will notice the difference ill try and post pics of both the cars so you can see how far off it is

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
