This thread was made for me! You can't keep it to wagons though, if you are looking for inspiration I would look at everything for style, content and application. Have a look at sport trucks as this is an area where customisation is at it's extreme.

I've got lots more saved up... What are you thinking Darrin?

Wow some of those graphics are pretty insane. That Lamborghini with the graffiti is pretty cool never seen that before. I hate to think what some of those paint jobs cost though. Probably more than the cars in some cases.

Nothing that fancy. Not looking for a autosalon car, will still be a daily driver

I need to paint 80% of my car anyway, so I was thinking a non factory colour.

I have done 7 full colour swaps before on my previous cars. It is a bit more work, but it is worth it.

I like blue's and have considered going bayside blue to stick with the Nissan theme.

Previous cars in blue have been ford cabolt blue on a series 4 RX7, subaru wrx blue on a AW11 MR2 and ford blueprint on my r33.

I am not sure if a darker or lighter colour will suit the bigger car. Might need to check out the new HSV wagons for an idea.

Hmmm I reckon thats a bit too blue Darrin, the Stagea being such a big car I reckon it needs a subtle shade.

I really like dark colours e.g. dark Purple / Plum or Black. Also I have seen some really nice BMW colous lately that I reckon would suit the Stagea Silver Gray Metallic and Sparkling Graphite Metallic the second one looks awesome in the flesh kind of changes colour slightly in the light.

I am thinking maybe a darker colour on the bigger car, something like a dark charcoal metalic

My current R34 gtr bonnet is that dark purple rare nissan colour. Sort of suits the car

I'll be doing a spray job on my car - BUT will keep it Pearl White

want to fix up the mirror areas, a cple of body touchup areas, then pearl white with heaps of purple/electric-blue pearl

just to make it look sparkling, and would be the last final job on the car (prior to bottom end, hehehehe lolz)

heres my r31 wagon with the new look "cherry cola" black with red pearl... should be finished soon its been 5 years in the making... i painted that in the shed and it still needs a buff so go easy on me

Is this colour too gay?

Lambo orange or ford TX5 electric orange

I need to consider resale as well.

I don't mind it, I spose "some" might claim it's a bit gay but they probably think anything other thank black or white is a bit gay :D

It's a bright orange without being too bright, even a sun burnt orange might be a nice colour choice :blush:

Until you see it on your particular car though it's hard to tell :sick:

WHAT THE HELL!

if your considering resale, forget that colour!

unless you wanna sell it to some sick and twisted person over here in Dandenong who thinks painting there skylines and hondas s200 and even Gti-R in lime green and lambo orange is cool well best of luck to you mate.

As long as you like attention then go for it, put some 20s on it to like the one in the first pic that thing is cool. Also I don't reckon it will affect resale too much if you look at a whole car for what it is. For exampl I wouldn't pay $100 for a 1600 mitsi lancer with a cheap arse body kit and a candy pink paint job. But a one of a kind stagea / skyline with quality mods throughout good paint and kit is worth paying a bit of money for in my book. Some of the big car makers are thinking this way too look at the ford fpv colours or the Porsche GT3 colour options.

    • Change the transmission fluid. I would try Motorcraft XT-M5-QS if you have it in your area for a reasonable price. Also, double check your clutch is fully disengaging. If you are not pushing the clutch pedal to the floor fully for every shift now is the time to start. Make sure the clutch is fully bled. The damper line requires two distinct bleed points to be purged of air or it will not disengage the clutch properly. If either hydraulic cylinders input or output are losing hydraulic pressure in their seals/leaking you can have problems like this. If you've ruled out everything else then the most likely explanation is the synchros are worn and you need to double clutch the shift or rebuild/replace the transmission. The transfer case is discontinued FYI so you may want to rebuild it while you're in there too. If the chain stretches past spec it can do a ton of damage.
    • You're selling the SS?! How much are you asking on it?
    • My answer would be, that depends. If it's something that can be grumpy to start, runs a bit rich, and is likely an expensive engine, then yes, I would. But there's a few reasons why. Sumps aren't really sealed, there is airways to them, so it is technically open to moisture. Secondly, if as mentioned it has been started, and it's a fuelled up, I'd dump it, as chances are, fuel is in the oil. Next to that comes, how much use had said oil seen before it was parked up. IE, how much carbon, and potentially fuel/water did get in there while it was being used, and has now been allowed to sit, and slowly come together? For the most part, if it's just been something like a road car, stock engine, nothing wild, f**king send it if it's not near oil change spec.
