Some Vic ppl like to stay in Vic, which is fair enough. Victoria, it's the place to be! so i thought i'd post this here as well.

Yes, i know, ANOTHER black R34 GT-T But plans are underway, and hopefully will stick out from the crowd and be unique.

It's been a long time peeps, and even though u guys haven't been all snobby just cos i don't have a Skyline, still feel like part of SAU more now that i've bought one.

cheers everyone!

you're still an outsider till it sits in your driveway hehe

congrats... now where did I put that bucket of TV2?

[NS2500]

Congratulations mate - R34 - great start! Love the wing.

[SS8_Gohan]

hehe, thanks shan, greg. Yes the wing is a little "out there" i might find a happy home for it, cos it sure ain't going to be my home

yeah greg, bit of step up from the 1.6ltr Pulsar

ah yes shan... i remember you have the Dupont prices/catalogue for all Nissan paint codes or something?? I'd be VERY interested in how much some TV2 would cost, do you know how much i would need? Maybe i can get an Iridium finish on the car to match my Oakleys heheh

[funkymonkey]

i do have the dupont catalog, but it dosen't have prices, I was taking to Gareth n he was sayin it'd be cheaper to get the paint mixed up locally at a paint shop, he recommended one in Pasco Vale or somewhere...

I'm thinkin of gettin some Midnight Purple 2 mixed up.

[SS8_Gohan]

go Midnight Purple 3!!!

if it was getting mixed up, is it spot on? Like, you either get TV2 or u don't? There's no, it's nearly the right colour? Will it still change colour slightly depending on the light? Cos i know TV2 looks changes a little.

[funkymonkey]

midnight purple 3 looks a bit homosexual to be honest. And as for the mix, apparently these guys are so good that its hard to spot the difference. And a lot of guys go there to geth their factory colours remade. Besides I got all the paint codes of all the layers you need to make it up, so shouldn't be too hard.

[ylwgtr2]

midnight purple II and III are harliquin colours TV2 bayside blue is nothing special in the way of tinters its a group 3 colour though.In regards to any colours from any fomular from any paint supplier for any vehicle!There never right.Not even the factory touch up samples are right.

[SS8_Gohan]

haha, so if you bought from direct from Dupont you'd have a better chance of a closer match? Does Nissan get all their paint from Dupont, so technically u'd be getting factory paint?

oh and troy, not sure if you've looked at the pics of the car from the link, but apparently the heinously ugly rear wing is BOLTED onto the sides of the car! i thought if u unbolted the middle pillars it would be off, apparently not. Is it a lot of work to fill in some holes, and clean up the area where it was bolted?

cheers.

[funkymonkey]

those holes should be easy to fix up with bog.

as for the colours, the original nissan colours were made by dupont, so using the dupont colour composition codes I should theoretically be able to get an authorised reseller of dupont paints to mix up the correct batch innit? only prblem is it dosen't give me concentrations etc, so if they thinned out one layer etc you wouldn't know until you tried it on the car hey?

[inark]

nice one chinny! bout time worth the wait tho man.

[Snowman]

Chinny - leave it black and see if we can't get more SAU Vic members with Black R34 GT-T's than what we have with Midnight Purple R33 GTR's!

Just Kidding

But congrats man - you have definitely been waiting a loooooong time for this.

[QuickR33Melb]

Call me crazy but I thought R34's were not available under RAWs yet (Complience that is.) The reason I ask is I was thinking of doing the same a couple of months ago and was told that nobody has completed the engineers report under the ADR guidelines with the new laws in place. In fact there was an ad from a big complience shop on the forum recently to buy a R34 for them, they would do the engineers report for free so that they were able to start bringing them in under RAWS. Anyway just curious....

[doxximus]

congrats man looks damn nice

i love the updated interior, so much better than r33

[inark]

thats not hard dox... just about anything is better than an R33 interior

[Snowman]

Jevan - they are definitely now being done.

Perhaps speak to Adzmax as he just got his car back last week.

[Daz]

Speaking about black R34's does anyone own one that goes to Caufield Monash Uni?

[Downforce]

Congratulations. R34 r teh r0XoR

[adznight]

Yeah RAWS has cleared R34's over 2 months ago now.

Check it out here.

Cheers.

[SS8_Gohan]

Thanks everyone. and Jevan, the guy who wanted a R34 for free compliance? I took that But downside is that i have to wait for their vehicle inspection to come around. But i do save a fair bit of money, hard to say no to free compliance.

Mobility Engineering in Sydney and Cross over car conversions in Melbourne are currently doing R34's. With Calcars hopefully ready to go in a few months (the place where my car is going). When is the next autosalon by the way? I have a few things planned and the car "maybe" worthy enough...

Still waiting for Dale to start a rant about the number of black GT-T's j/k

Yep been a looong time, basically the "Join Date" for SAU plus a few months, that's how long.
