whats wrong with silver? ive always thought it to be one of the best allround colours for cars. looks sex with white wheels too.

if i ever get a respray i would think long and hard about doing silver with a ice blue pearl, or the yellowey-green colour that alot of car makers are using now. (my mums falcon is this colour).

i agree that its good to be different and not copy, but dont want to be too flashy.

out of the three colours, the gtr purple would look good, but be a bastard to keep clean.

My last R32 was silver and I loved it.... However, I would like to move on to a colour that is a little more rare, and will make the car stand out when it comes time to sell..

I really love the puple so I thinki it is what I am going to go for.... Might also look into painting the car black, and putting a purple pearl into the paint...

Yeah i have more pics of that Exact car......

Plus the colour is actually a stock colour, limited BUT stock

Ok... Here is todays challenge!

Find out what colour code that paint is.. Would Nissan be able to tell me?

Can you please email me the pics of that car MADGT4?

From another thread:

The R33 GT-R Midnight Purple has been done quite a few times before, it still looks good, but I suppose something a bit more unique like II or III would be good.

 

Midnight Purple - #LP2

 

Midnight Purple II - #LV4

 

Midnight Purple III - don't know :(

 

Heres the PDF file: http://dupont.co.jp/dupont-refinish/color/.../nissan/lv4.pdf

 

I don't really know what I'm translating, but if you know paint code recipies then stuff like "binder", "balancer" and "flop controller" might make sense to you...

 

1st Part (Colour base):  

*from top to bottom on the extreme left*

Skyline

Black H.S.

Binder

 

2nd Part (Pearl Base):

*top to bottom on the extreme left*

Skyline

Chrome Illusion

Flop Controller

Jet Black

Violet

Violet Pearl

Binder  

Balancer

 

3rd Part (Colour Base):

*top to bottom on the extreme left*

Skyline

Black H.S.

Binder  

Balancer

 

4th Part (Pearl Base):

Skyline

Chrome Illusion

Flop Controller

Jet Black  

Violet

Violet Pearl

Binder  

Balancer

 

Note: At the top of the 3rd column across from the left on each of the parts it says "1L Combination Amount".

 

Now if you can make heads or tails of that that'd be great, because I'd hate to think that I've wasted my time.

ive painted my R32 kandy red its very nice but very hard to paint and very expensive compared to the colours you have posted.

midnight purple I, II or III would look nice as well as cherry black and they arent very common.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
