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.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
