i remember i went the easy option ..went into the hardware store.. looked around.. "hnmmm cherry red that sounds sex". I'm glad I went for that, I like it nice and bright.

pft.. i actually had the idea well before you did yours when i was stuffing around painting and ricing up my computer at the time.  

anyway, its not like its that original. Some come from Japan with it already done.

i still did it first :P

btw the profec b spec II blue back lit goes real well with the rest of my interior.

i cant be bothered taking it all out again to paint it a darker grey so im going to have to finish everything else in the same colour... what a pain in the arse... i wanted something less obvious or attention atracting.

it was night time... i do everything when i get home from work. Much to the delight of my neghbours :D

it looked perfect when i was puting it in... wasnt til i woke up this afternoon that i noticed it

Hey inasnt, did you do the centre console surround? how hard it it to take off? I want to do it in gloss black :D (does that count as rice?)

nope didnt do it.

come off very easily, 2 screws near the seat belt joiners and 2 under the gear stick.

narkeh... being a panel beater n all u shoulda known the colour changes when it dries, didn't you do a test spray the night before?? u n00b!

BTW u'r engine bay is now yelow and your interior is baby blue... u'r not like becoming a hippy or some shit are you? :hippy:

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
