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

-David

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...).

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
