yeh i agree , if you are going for a paint that is tricky from what iv heard to work with its best to go with a well known quality place such as lombardi bros, harlequin paint already costs a bit y not pay a bit more to get a finish you know will be good :P

sucks to be u if u have to respray cause of stonechips, minor dent etc... cause the paint wont blend with the other panels and will look shithouse...

so basically a full respray is needed even for a slight dent or scratch usually to get it all flush with other panels etc again.

MEZMERIZE told me about these problems when he had his harlequin supra.

I used to see that supra pass my old work in Herdsman Business Park (near the west austrlian) all the time...looked sh!t hot ;)

Make sure you insurance company covers the paint, wouldnt want a hard to insure car impossible to insure.

Indeed! I know of several insurance companies that won't have a bar of you of you've got Harlequin paint

Had a chat with Brett the other day seems like a top bloke, been needing to get rid of the huge nismo spoiler for a while now but its not gonna be cheap :P .

The harlequin paint looks awlsome seen the supra couldnt agree more, but it would be too hard to maintain I rekon.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
