You must have mad mazda nihongo skills. =P Nah, it's easy. You just need to download a Japanese text support package from microsoft for windows, then search for "anfini" on the yahoo auction site. They're not that hard to come by, I see a set going every couple of weeks. Hmm, maybe I shouldn't be sharing this until I get MY set! haha

I want to paint my car Shade Green so bad... but the current paint is so nice that I just can't justify it. D'oh!

All Mazda paint codes are two digit codes.

for example
Artic Silver Metallic = J5
Tornado Silver Metallic = K8
Brilliant Black = PZ
Sunrise Red = RH
Crystal White = UC
Dover White = WU
Noble White =WY
Satin Gold Metallic =1A
Claret Metallic = 2H
Royal Maroon Metallic =3A
Sapphire Blue Metallic = 5A
True Red = NP

Etc

I have always been able to go into any body shop or paint store that has Automotive paints and get a color based on the two digit code.

Perhaps you are confusing that with some domestic car PPG paint codes?

Jreynish, do a search on "infini" and color or paint, and my user name, you'll find at least two threads, both have pics in 'em. =)

hey I noticed that you have the Infini IV center consol knee brace as well, or was that an option on some of the Jspecs?

I honestly don't know, but I doubt it's stock. I think it was fitted by a previous owner in Japan, because it's not mounted in a very "factory" manner.

anyone interested in infini/anfini/enfini seats, the black suede ones in the post earlier? I have a couple sets in japan and can have them shipped over if someone really wants them. I have them in my car and love them yes they are old but if you have been to japan or seen many of the fc's in Japan you would know that most people replace there stock seats wrather quickly with bucket seats either Bride or Recarro's so really they are all still in excellent condition. Price has not been decided for a pair of them but should be around 1000 for two seats with rails.
