There is a panel in the top left corner of the engine bay with chasis number, model number etc, there are also a few lines of numbers beneath that. Anyone know what they are, as I can't read the japanese legend, and if the colour code of the car is in one of them?

Min,

One of the numbers is indeeed the colour code. Can't remember the order but you should be able to work it out - it's not the longest of numbers.

Codes

Alan,

> QM1 is my colour code for white???

Those are Nissan codes for R32/R33 GTS, maybe a less 'fancy' paint than a GTR...

Umm!! QM1 - so is that 'White Shark' or 'White Whale' finish then ?

Paint codes

Ron,

Also don't forget 'AN0' for the Burgundy Red Metallic on the R33's, if I remember rightly didn't you have one of these a little while ago !?

I,d like to think its the white shark

But knowing other members of this forum no doubt it will get harpooned into a white whale.

Alan,

All the best cars are white. They stand out better in the evening, show up brighter when cleaned and draw gasps from the crowds. Any other colour just aint right!

 

[Alan]

Best make sure yours is clean for the 4th may as I don,t think I can make that one.
Best not get started on the colour theme again as Glen and Paul will only get all protective about silver and blue
Just a thought but I wonder if the blue and silver ones had a WHITE undercoat. Which would make them
ORIGINALLY WHITE !!!!!
Best regards Alan

 

[Fuggles]

Alan,

You're so right! How nice to see they all prefer white really. So nice of them to cover it up as well so that the rest of us can really appreciate the rarity of a white car

Shame you wont be able to make it to the Grasshopper. See you at the next one

For the last time , I don't know any more codes I only put some of the most popular ones up as a guide to the general format..
so don't even think of asking what the code for The General is

thanks!

Thanks for all the help, had to take the alarm out to get to the bottom half of the panel, but eventually found mine to be KR4, (Fortune Silver Metallic) if anyone's interested.
