Nissan Skyline and Silvia fan

Detail X SA · May 23, 2018

Hey Guys, my name is Matthew and I'm from Adelaide. I found this forum today whilst looking for all the paint colours and codes for Skyline models as I just love some of them especially Midnight Purple and just had to join as I am a big nissan fan but want to learn more about these cars, there is tonnes I don't know and hey perhaps I'll get my hands on one soon.

I love all sorts of cars but 1970's -1990's Japanese is one of my favourites.

I am a professional paint detailing specialist. automotive paint care, correction, enhancement and protection being what I focus on in my business.

since 1991 I've been into detailing and have tested over one hundred and thirty brands of products and been on USA detailing podcast shows and written some articles on polishing for Australasian paint and panel magazine.

I love to paint correct and make it feel and look awesome and stay that way. It's one of my many passions.

However I'm here just as a Nissan enthusiast, predominantly Skyline and Silvia.

my father had a 260ZX when I was young, what a beast that was.

I am also into retro home video movie formats such as Laserdisc (especially Japanese releases), Betamax, Super Betamax, VHS, DVD, Blu ray and even Japanese VHD disc format

Retro video gaming is another passion of mine and I've been playing video games since 1977 and I am still playing Gran Turismo 4 on my PS2's with a heap of Nissan cars in my 90 car collection.

my favourite is the 1973 HT 2000 GTR in Red that's in the game, being born in January 1973 and that killer shape just works for me, god it's sexy.

Working on skylines is something I love and it's a shame that many of the R31-R34 models now have paint that is in really bad shape but I'm hopeful that there's enough out there that are still in great shape or have been repainted the same colour as some of these colours are awesome.

here are a few I've worked on in recent years and my retro video gear.
