Hello all! Hope you are well. I just have a quick question. I have a few small chips in my paint and I'm looking to get a touch up bottle of paint for this. I have a 1991 R32 GTR painted in KH2. When looking for KH2 I find allot of Charcoal Pearl Metallic KH2 and obviously that's a different name from Gun Metallic Grey KH2. The code of KH2 is obviously the same but names are different. Did Nissan just change the name at some point but they are the same paint or if I buy the Charcoal Pearl Metallic KH2 it will be different from my current paint on the car. Thanks for the help in advance. Have a wonderful night/day and I look forward to hearing from some of you!

Metallic touch up paints bought at a distance are a waste of time.

Take it to a trusted crash repairer and get them to match and mix you up a small amount for brush touching.

Does it really matter?

No it doesn't matter I'm just asking for hell of it... It matters in the sense that its easier to find a charcoal grey metallic KH2 touch up can over a Gun grey metallic KH2 can. Also cheaper.

I think my point is more..... what does it matter if you go to a shop and get a matching mix for, say, $100, vs. spending $30 on a touch up pen that doesn't match. You're not blowing your money. You are spending your money correctly (when you spend more to get proper stuff).

They are likely going to be different colours. Best way to know for sure is still going to be to go to a paint supply shop and just ask them to compare the Hex code for the two colours.

 

And then while you're there, get them to mix you up a can for cheaper than you would pay to get off-the-shelf non-matching junk.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
