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.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
