Do what I did. I went factory Nissan black with a blue pearl thru the clear coat. I have never seen another car with exactly the same colour :rofl:

Some monkey dinted the front bar after it was resprayed but was no problem for the panel beaters to match the colour exactly.

So go factory burgandy with a pearl thru the clear coat :P

That's what i am trying to find, but in a factory colour. What you saw probably wasn't factory.

I think i am just going to give up and just flippin use the R33 burgundy, i am sick of finding a colour then having the sample come out totally different.

Al, skylinegeoff was telling me that half his car is painted in a Holden or Ford colour (forget what it was) but I couldn't tell the difference between the two (the local colour and the Nissan colour).

Probably the Ford "sparkling burgundy" from the AU series falcon. Thanks Shane.

Thanks Pete, will keep an eye out.

holy crap! thats interesting. U shouldn't have told us that now we're going to look *very* closely at Geoff's car next time :cheers:

Al, Buddy, You know you want to paint it candy apple red. Don't be a pu55y just do it and get a name brand paint ( like PPG or house of color if you have robbed that bank) so repairs won't be a hassle.

If you go through life thinking of what could happen you may miss out on life.

just do it

I know this ia a bit off topic, but saw a monaro a couple of days ago with a purple/grey paint. Looked fantastic, anyone else seen this? I think that colour would look ace on a skyline.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
