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..

I highly recommend Dino from Color Touch Systems @ 0419 868 763 / [email protected]

Let him know "George with the V35 Skyline" sent you - he's a top guy and will look after you in regards to both workmanship and price :)

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
