This thread was made for me! You can't keep it to wagons though, if you are looking for inspiration I would look at everything for style, content and application. Have a look at sport trucks as this is an area where customisation is at it's extreme.

Wow some of those graphics are pretty insane. That Lamborghini with the graffiti is pretty cool never seen that before. I hate to think what some of those paint jobs cost though. Probably more than the cars in some cases.

Nothing that fancy. Not looking for a autosalon car, will still be a daily driver

I need to paint 80% of my car anyway, so I was thinking a non factory colour.

I have done 7 full colour swaps before on my previous cars. It is a bit more work, but it is worth it.

I like blue's and have considered going bayside blue to stick with the Nissan theme.

Previous cars in blue have been ford cabolt blue on a series 4 RX7, subaru wrx blue on a AW11 MR2 and ford blueprint on my r33.

I am not sure if a darker or lighter colour will suit the bigger car. Might need to check out the new HSV wagons for an idea.

Hmmm I reckon thats a bit too blue Darrin, the Stagea being such a big car I reckon it needs a subtle shade.

I really like dark colours e.g. dark Purple / Plum or Black. Also I have seen some really nice BMW colous lately that I reckon would suit the Stagea Silver Gray Metallic and Sparkling Graphite Metallic the second one looks awesome in the flesh kind of changes colour slightly in the light.

I'll be doing a spray job on my car - BUT will keep it Pearl White

want to fix up the mirror areas, a cple of body touchup areas, then pearl white with heaps of purple/electric-blue pearl

just to make it look sparkling, and would be the last final job on the car (prior to bottom end, hehehehe lolz)

To be honest I like the dark purple but the darker colors tend to be show the dirt where as the blue probably wouldn’t.

If it were mine I would go with the purple anyway.

Is this colour too gay?

Lambo orange or ford TX5 electric orange

I need to consider resale as well.

I don't mind it, I spose "some" might claim it's a bit gay but they probably think anything other thank black or white is a bit gay :D

It's a bright orange without being too bright, even a sun burnt orange might be a nice colour choice :blush:

Until you see it on your particular car though it's hard to tell :sick:

WHAT THE HELL!

if your considering resale, forget that colour!

unless you wanna sell it to some sick and twisted person over here in Dandenong who thinks painting there skylines and hondas s200 and even Gti-R in lime green and lambo orange is cool well best of luck to you mate.

As long as you like attention then go for it, put some 20s on it to like the one in the first pic that thing is cool. Also I don't reckon it will affect resale too much if you look at a whole car for what it is. For exampl I wouldn't pay $100 for a 1600 mitsi lancer with a cheap arse body kit and a candy pink paint job. But a one of a kind stagea / skyline with quality mods throughout good paint and kit is worth paying a bit of money for in my book. Some of the big car makers are thinking this way too look at the ford fpv colours or the Porsche GT3 colour options.

    • So latest update. I replaced the ignitor with a jspec unit from enjuku. It felt a lot better at first although it is a little bit cooler of a day than it has been. Warming up didn't have as much misfire sputtering as before. Went on a 10m test drive. Felt good, a lot stronger though I was taking it easy on the boost. On the return trip started getting the cutting out at higher rpm again and was getting worse the longer I was driving. Took it easy the rest of the way home. Before turning the car off was getting the normal idle sputtering I was getting before.  So where I'm at now, entire ignition system has been replaced with upgraded components. Plugs still gapped at .8mm. Removed the fuel cap in case it was building too much reverse pressure I'm the tank, didn't help at all. Now I'm still on the same tank of gas the fuel treatment was in, I'm thinking if I can run that out and then refill with fresh 93 maybe  the treatment is too concentrated in some areas but doesn't explain that it only does it once the car is warm. I'm leaning towards fuel pump or injectors but if the injector was clogging I don't think it would make it shut off like it has but then fire right back up like nothing happened. So my current guess would be the pump. Without a fuel pressure guage no way to test or check it while it's running.  So that's kind of where I'm at. Need to start testing fuel components and ecu/wiring but I'm at a loss of what's the next logical step and procedure for testing it. 
    • @niZmO_Man thanks for that info, lucky I bought the gktech ones 🤙.
    • Never cheap out on brakes, tyres, suspension. I learnt the hard way at Oran Park lol
    • You got your answer when everything was OK after disconnecting your return line from the FPR. Why in the world are you running a 460, 2200CC injectors, etc. on stock 8mm lines?  Keep the pump, ditch the lines. I used both 8mm lines as my feed and one of my Hicas 10mm lines as return.
