hey guys/gals,

thought i'd post this in this section. Cos i'm quite proud a few little things i did, here's what i reckon the back of the V35's should look like...

I tried to keep the relections and shadows of the trees going on the right hand side lights. So it wasn't like i was just colouring in around it. And i did a very little bit of reflection on the left.

I also tried to continue the bootlid/corner light grey colour, around the top of the lights, going. So it sort of blended in with the shape and flow of the car more. I also did a little bit of brush work right on the edges of the lights, to keep the round shape of the sides going. I think i might need to finely outline the lights in black, make them look like they are set into the car. What do u guys think?

mmmmm, i like that ... combine ur's ryan and mine, be quite good :D Definitely better bootlid line. Now just need to get rid of the red plasitc surrounds, and then leave the afterburners.

ok, finally got around to it, ryan's bootlid line and my afterburners, i guess this is what we would like the new skyline to look like.... well, the best from what we have to work with, thanks nissan :D

and to all those who how? check my second post :D and i just used the brush tool, changing the size of it, and using the eyedropper to keep the same tones of grey.

the bottom of the boot, the dark bit. i cut a bit from one end and copy/paste and flipped horizontally, and then rotated to fit. reverse lights were just cut and paste, then fix up the area where they have been left.

still a pretty dodgy job, but u get the idea.

    • Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.
    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
