Finding A Paint Code For 180sx Purple

[Sarumatix]

Does anyone have any idea where I could find the paint code for the stock nissan 180sx purple paint.

Although purple 180s seem very different colours in different pictures depending on lighting this i am fairly sure is not the right colour.

This is advertised as pearl but i'm fairly sure is the right stock colour.

This car is definately the right colour.

I need someone who has this colour to read the nissan information plate which looks something like:

.................Nissan Motor Co LTD Japan

............................E-HCR43

Chassis No: HCR32-016693

Model: RCR32GASM AA

Colour code: KG1 G 130

Engine: RB20DET 1998 cc

Transmission / Axle : RE4R01A RC43

And tell me what their "Colour code: KG1 G 130" says.

So far one person has quoted it as LN1 which doesn't seem to make sense given that matches with 'Concord Grey'.

peel up some carpet to c if there is any other colour or look under the car like under the rails, i dont think its a standard colour, thell have to do a couple of spray outs to match the colour. good luck

It is 100% a stock colour know several people who have the colour.. comes on later model 180sx . I don't doubt the color is in the paintcode thread.. but how the heck do I find out what the name of the color actually is?

If it hasnt been resprayed, take a clear and close pic of the build plate in the engine bay, post it up here and ill match it to the thread for you

So far I have gotten someone with that colour to check the plate and it says "LN1 G" which I matched with "concord grey" :S.

KK I have determined that the SAU paint code list is quite short for silvias . LP2 red/blue pearl is the 180sx type-x purple, from simple deduction the only other purple paintcode which was around during the right time frame is LP1, grey/purple. The name sounds right but I can't find any conclusive evidence that this is the right code, can anyone point me towards enlightenment?
