Hey all,

I had the front bar re-sprayed to remove stone chips and generally make it look kick ass new.

The crash repair shop that did the job for me didn’t do a good job. The blue is not the same blue and the pigments within the metallic are different. I’ve made them do it twice. They also painted my FLQP without my permission or genuine justification. Probably to blend & hide their bad work so I wouldn’t notice, and I wouldn't of if a mate of mine didn't point it out. Under 500W+ transcendent lights it tells the true story.

Anyway! Does anyone know of a place that can actually import the right paint and not just mix and match what there paint rep supplies? Or that can actually make the right colour/ pigmentation and use a spray gun?

On the occasions I need paint work done, I used Silver Motor Bodies @ Windsor Gardens.

They do a lot of late model high end cars like porsche, Range Rovers etc.

Also they dont look down @ you for driving a Nissan.

Speak to Tony (owner) or Joyce.

:thanks:

So I went to all the suggestions. I like Silvers; it is a bit far from the western suburbs however I think they would do a great job. I also like Premier on Regency road that also do BMW’s and Lexus. Both seemed to know what they’re talking about. Premier is adamant that they can do a better job than Findon Crash Repairs, who painted my Guard without permission and basically costed me $800 in repairs now!

I think people really struggle to nail the Athens Blue B21; it has unique pigmentations in the metallic and has no purples/reds and greens.

Every painter in Adelaide including the ones I mentioned above, mix and match their in-house paints with their paints brand spectrometer. I don’t understand why nobody can order the original Athens B21 patented paint from Nissan or Infiniti..

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      By Rezz · Posted

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
