The is car is 95% in undercoat. Next step is to colour the back of all the bolt on panels and the door jams.

Need to decide on colour by this Saturday

Choices

i'm not sure if i like ford breeze although i'm sure it will look good and would probably get my vote over bayside blue.. it's just so overplayed these days although god damn hot

The problem I have with bayside blue is it a factory colour and half of all nissan that get a custom respray use bayside blue.

In Brisbane I have only seen 3 cars in the ford colour, a R32, 180sx (both with white wheels) and a XD falcon. All looked pretty good.

Also looking at off loading the R34 gtr wheels for some Rays GT-C's in gold. Either 18's or 19's

My mates got his s13.5 painted a very similar colour to that breeze and all kitted up and it look insane. :)

another vote for ford breeze i think it will suit the stag perfectly.

I hope so, I started painting it yesterday morning

Next step is to refit doors and hatch, prime front bar and a few other parts and then it will be ready for the the full respray

I think the car will not be too stealth with this colour.

I can hear the comments now. . .man that is a bright colour on that volvo.

Can't wait for a cruise when it is finished

Currently trying to get it finished for the VW Jamboree on the last weekend of August

If the weather is good over next few weekends, it will be all painted ready re assembly

Hopefully get the new turbo on and sorted before the Jamboree as well. That's the plan.

Myles, who is doing the Nistune tuning?

lookin good darren about time you got that front end conversion finished its been a while :P Colour is good choice, bayside blue has been done to death and as you said of all the choices to go with a factory nissan colour would be a waste. Definately gonna get some looks now!

It's definitely unusual, but I like it. I can't wait to see the car in a more complete state so we can get a full picture of how it will look.

Good work so far, Darrin.

It is a hard colour to photogragh. I took them at night under lights. Needs to be seen in the sun light

15 years ago I had a TA22 celica show car painted in a similar Ford Everglad from the EB falcon with gold simmons B45's.

It appeared in 3 different mags and the colour looked crap compared to real life. All 3 photo shoots were done either early morning or late avro with near no sun light.

I actually spotted a new Ford in this colour today (you made me look!) I think it will look good, it will look like a show car though, that's a given. Can't wait to see this finished though, it has been a long road :)

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
