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.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
