Hi guys and gals,

 

Was  going to get some touch up paint for my 33 gtr around brisy after a few phonecalls someone pointed out Supercheap. I was a bit sceptical at first but they seem to be able to provide it but the paint codes they have represent 2 different midnight purples but the same code. they are both LP2 but one has a dark purple metallic with small amount red metallic and other is dark purple metallic. I would have thought the 2nd is the correct choice but didnt want to be wrong. Its only for a few scuff marks around the base of my front bar but dont want it to be different obviously. Any experts know which is which. It is for 33 GTR V-spec 95'. Thanks

Trial and error basically it's just a variant of the same colour as paint gets mixed in massive batches and sometimes there a bit off so after market paint company's will list differnt variants of it, normally in a panel shop you would make up a small quantity and check it against the car and if wrong try the other

good luck....
had a r33 gtr midnight purple also...

wanted to spray my series 3 lip midnight purple to match the car. tried out supercheap, tried some stupid expensive paint from car paint suppliers. nothing came close and it was a bitch to paint.

My track car is also midnight purple, have decided to change the colour and spray it completely to save the hassle!

Cheers guys its only a couple small marks so not too stressed, i think i will run with the dark purple over the red metallic addition as that seems more logical and due to it being a 95 and one of the first of the series i figure the dark purple would represent midnight purple and maybe they experimented a little further with colour in the later models......I hope, if there is any logic behind that lol Thanks again.

Don't know if you have already sorted it out but I also have a 33 in midnight purple LP2. I work at supercheap and have mixed myself a few cans that match my car well but its so hard to tell from the pictures. Here is my colour for what its worth. I don't think mine has the red in it.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
