I am going to say, paint it that silver colour.

Reasons:

Similar colour means if and when sale times come, people are less likely to question as the inside of the engine bay (unless you are going full bareshell) will be very similar to the rest of the car.

It is perfectly feasible that a skyline enthusiast get his car sprayed in the same shade as one of the best skylines too.

Silver is a great colour for keeping clean, scratches, dents etc

IMO, spray it silver.

^^^ see even MrGTRI is on my side...

Team Yellow FTW and wait till age see's this mate he'll tell u straight out... no thought required...

Yep YELLOW FTW!!!

Mitsubishi "Dandelion Yellow", and some bad ass black or charcoal rims!!!

This color!!!!

bcnr33 midnight purple would look good

pffffft... thats on every 180, silvia, skyline from here to Iraq... Midnight Purple III

with a purple pearl and purple candy clear coat on top of that... with the same colour pin striping and decals.

so hawt right now.

Geez that would be like when Al respayed his car from Burgandy to Wine Red.

Your eyes must be going fuzzy in your old age :D

I think 70% of the reason why i won best r33 gts-t was the paint job.

Went from burgundy to pearl red (some mistake it for candy apple red). The only reason i done a full respay was due to the accident, and i always had a few deep scratches and dents from the day i bought it.

Pete does you car need a full respray?

oh shoosh up all of you :D

fact: it's going to stay "a" silver

soooo, why not go for (IMO) the nicer looking one? quite simple really

Z-Tune silver...

lucky i didn't start that "what type of black should i respray my car" thread... >_<

"and that's the end of that chapter"

    • 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...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
