Im thinking of going for a 400R-bodykit (and hood) for my ECR33. Now im a bit split on what color to choose, either i go with the lightsilver-paint i have now, and put some nice(and big) red or blue decals on it. This would save me alot of money.

Im also thinking of painting it red, sorta Ferrari-red, would look nice with some black or white rims.

Earlier i was also thinking that JUN-yellow is a very nice color, could be really nice, or the very opposite.

So what do you think?

Cheers

Post up a pic of your car or one similar with the body kit etc, I can do a couple of photoshops if you like. Just give me a pic and some idea of the colours you are choosing between. I can change rims too, so if you put up a pic of the rims you want, I can add them to the pic.

Hey! Thanks for your comments! Still havent made up my mind, but for rims, im going for either black 8-spoke 18-inch (they have a nice red line on the following the edge of the rim which would go perfectly along with the red color) OR i'll go with something like this:

Anyways, here are some links to real 400R's with some different colors:

http://www.jbskyline.net/Nismo400R/Showroom/Bilder/Bild8.php - Yellow, the yellow one i have in mind, a bit brighter wouldnt hurt though

http://www.jbskyline.net/Nismo400R/Showroo...lder/Bild15.php - A white one, always nice, but not that intresting, and also, a friend of mine has a white R33, dont wanna compete with him :P

http://www.jbskyline.net/Nismo400R/Showroo...lder/Bild16.php - A somewhat dull blue color

http://www.jbskyline.net/Nismo400R/Showroom/Bilder/Bild1.php - And ofcourse the red one, not exactly the 'ferrari-red' i was thinking of

I dont have any pics of a silver one, although i think i know that the 400R came with the KR4-Silver, a bit darker then mine.

Candy apple red would be so nice, but the cost is a tad to high for me :(

Quinny, would be great if you could do some photoshopping, ill try to find a good pic of one with the kit on!

EDIT: found a guy who ones a JUN-Yellow one, with atleast a 400R-front:

Nothing wrong with red, especially if it has a bright red pearl ;)

I've had nothing but great comments about my car, after i resprayed it and powder coated the rims a metallic charcol :mad:

Here are some more pics from the 2006 GP AutoSalon, Mavric's yellow bannana also looks great ;)

I've made a testpic to get an idea of how the rims work with the stock KL0-color of my car, and with decals, the car has actually got darkgrey lower parts of bumpers and sideskirts, modded that in the pic, aswell as removed the GT-Wing i have (dont like it although would maybe be nice to paint it in the same color as the decals...).

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
