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

I was going to be rude, but I just don't have the energy tonight sad2.gif

RH9 (Jason's car) is Midnight Purple II.

The R34 on Parramatta Rd, and the one posted by Funky is Midnight Purple III.

R34 GTRs had TWO Midnight Purple colours FROM FACTORY... Yes, that's right... Contrary to what you seem to be so sure of, it IS a factory colour.

Here are the paint codes for BNR34:

TV2 : Bayside Blue

QM1 : White

KR4 : Sonic Silver

KV2 : Athlete Silver

GV1 : Black Pearl

AR2 : Active Red

EV1 : Lightning Yellow

LV4 : Midnight Purple II

LX0 : Midnight Purple III

WV2 : Sparkling Silver

QX1 : White Pearl

EY0 : Sillica Breath

JW0 : Millennium Jade

that colour is AWESOME!

does it look like 'cameleon' (spelling) paint to anyone else?

its a 3 tone harlequin (or chameleon depending on which brand you prefer) paint by Dupont specially mixed up for Nissan Japan. The main colours are Dark Blue, Purple and Burnt Orange in that order of spectrum.

I tried to find a supplier in japan that could get me the paint from Nissan, but they said it costs way too much, and most Dupont dealers have the combination codes so they can mix up something similar anyways cheaper than Nissan can supply to them for. Then again, this is Japanese Dupont dealers and not the crummy aussie ones.

What's my colour name?

It's like a silver with purple pearl....  It's a GT-T

Look in your engine bay for your blue Nissan Build Plate, and look for a 3 letter code and match it up to the table I posted above...

That's the table for R34 GTR, which has a few more colour choices than the GT-t, but all the GT-t colours should be there I think...

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
