I have been trying to find LX0 midnight purple 3 i have so far looked through the Max Mayer code book and PPG book, but there not listed. Could anyone please help me find a supplier i am from melbourne any help would be very much appretiated. thanks ender.

Mate alot of the times the colours you are looking for, are exclusive to manufacturers only. For example, my mate had his GTR sprayed a rare purple colour that Ford only produced, and the only way to get is was from Ford directly...

Try contact the manufacturer that made that colour (if it has been made by a car manufacturer) if not any good spray painter will be able to mix you up a colour (will be cheaper) that is 100% identical...

Well I've never had a problem getting a paint supplier to mix me up some, I was using Dupont paints at the time and the special tinter (Chromillusion) was available, I switched paint suppliers to Sikkens and they could also supply it, ask your local paint shop would be my suggestion although they will not have the formula on there system, they will have to ask there supplier to mix it, It's not cheap to! I was quoted £400 or $900 for 1/2 ltr!! but that was unmixed so you can double the amount when mixed with thinners, but your going to need about 3ltr to paint a car, so thats $2700 for the base coat alone, prices could be different over your side of the pond though.

and from what ive been told it must be applied in 2 "stages" so to speak.

Kinda, It has to be applied over a black base or primer to get the effect.

damn $1000 a litre, are you sure that's not for a candy style replica?

Man i thought NIssan Bayside blue was expensive($1200 for 4L pearl)

but that is heaps!!! :)

Its extremely over priced IMO, I would go for HOK every time http://www.houseofkolor.com/hok/index.jsp

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
