hey y'all

well i'm heading for a respray soon. Was just going to go with Nissan metallic black again, maybe with a little fiddling here and there, blue pearl or something... but i saw a Matte black car (some old school car) driving in the city quite a few months back, just wondering what y'all think about a matte black respray? and better yet, does anyone have any pics?? :P

i thought it looked pretty hot, not sure if it's really expensive or cheaper tho, than metallic. Or if it's harder/easier to do...

or maybe desert cammo respray :) still reckon that would be cool

laterz,

chinny

I reckon matt black looks like shit. I personally love cars that shine.

No matter how professionally/perfect the matt black spray is, I still reckon it looks like it was painted with a $2 supercheap autocan.

but that's just my opinion.

agreed, go gloss all the way man, matte is cheap and nasty

is it cheap and nasty? or is it expensive and takes a while to do?

i did see it on an old school car, i thought it looked tough... but yeah, wasn't 100% sold on seeing it on something like a Skyline

guess i would either need to see one in real life or some pics. It seemed like a pretty out there idea... something a little different i guess :P

Matt black is as bad as brown fence paint! Seen Both! It is bland, boring and looks cheap. No matter how much you wash it, it never looks clean. Unless you want something more of a sleeper or shitbox look with stacks of power under the hood I would suggest against it!

Go with your gloss black with Dark blue or purple pearl!

Thats my opinion anyway! :(

i personally think matt or satin black would look very midnight racer and extremly cool, but yeah the finger prints and ever having to wash it would be the biggest pain.

there was an r33 in nsw done the same, but was repainted in gloss due to prints.

hmmm... seems very 50/50, either hate it or love it ....

if ppl have any more pics, i'd love to see them... i might have to do a bit of a photoshop job possibly... maybe even Maya...

does anyone know if this is more expensive than a metallic respray??

I totally agree with this I saw that matt black 32 on here as well and didnt like it at all. But if you like it get it.

Say hello to fingerprints though...

there was a guy on here from sweden or norway... maybe UK?? with a matt black R32 GTSt

looked hot but too much to maintain IMHO

do it!

the trouble with fingerprints cannot be worse than the trouble black gloss has with showing dirt, can it??? mines black and it drives me crazy

i remember that matt black 32, think it had a rb25 in it. anyways, matt black like many others have said looks distasteful and sh!t which i agree. on the bright side, if someone touches your car without your permission at least you'll know. btw are we talking matt black from a spray can or 2pack matt black (is that even possible)??

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
