I tried a search, but couldn't get an answer. I've been looking for a GTR for a few months, either 32 or 33. I'm having trouble getting my head around the various engine bay colours vs exterior colour I've seen out there. Is there any rhyme or reason regarding colours? A white bay seems pretty common, regardless of exterior colour, and none of these seem to have been resprayed on the exterior. I've also seen several that seem to have a slightly darker colour in the bay eg a darker maroon bay in a slightly lighter maroon exterior.

Any light shed on this would be appreciated...

The engine bay should be basically the same colour as the exterior.

There is an Australian delivered R32 for sale at the moment and it looked like it had a silver or white engine back with a black exterior.

When I looked at the paint code on the car it was silver!

Soooooo.................... Regardless of what you see they should be matching. Allow for the fact that they don't have clear nor are they polished.

That's why they look different. My exterior is Red Wine but the engine bay almost looks brown.

Hope that helps.......

Sorry to bring back a dead thread, I have a white 32 GTR, with a brown bay. Did a search on FAST came up saying paint code 326, which is crystal white.

Anyone know what's going on in there? Haha has me stumped.

Cheers

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
