Im unsure about wat this colour is, TS-50 doesn't match it but wondering if TS-57 does. I plan on doing the R34 kit in this colour but the TS-50 appears to dark.

Actually, I think TS-50 Mica Blue is a close match. It's vivid and light, and very close to the real car. You might want to try several base colors to see the result before you actually paint the body. Spray silver, black and blue on a scrap piece of paper, then overcoat it with TS-50 to see the result. They should give three different variations, and you can pick the one you like.

Tamiya's Mica spray paints grow progressively darker with heavier and heavier coats, as well. So for Nissan Bayside blue, you wouldn't want to go overboard and give it ten coats, or it'd look like Subaru's WRC blue. :)
