Ok have been motivated to get my old car painted for new season.

Base color has been done but spomser wants flames on the car ...something to do with the girls new uniforms :-)

so which color out of the 3 concepts do you think.

No flames. I think a bold black stripe along the lower edge/side of the car with aggreko.com cut out to reveal the body colour.

Accross the boonet a bold black strip just above where the side indicators would be, as it gets to the top edge it tapers back towards where "com" is on your side skirt to join the bold line at the bottom. Then under the bonnet stripe throw the big filters sticker. :wave:

Yer Roy i am with you but its what the sponsor wants. I am told that the uniforms of the girls this year has flames on it so flames it is.

Plus i have to suffer through a photo shoot of the girls and the car......and some hot laps with the ladies!

anyone want to take my spot hmmmm.

also a better pic of the color

i know im only teaching art to uni kids but please do me a favour...

the original blue you had in your first post strikes a great contrast but its too bold. Try adding some yellow to the flames section so you have a blue and yellow on orange type effect. it will look vibrant but the yellow wont over power either colour.

just think of the bunsen burner we used to use in chem clases..blue is the hottest followed by orange and yellow...

remember the choice of hues is important, too.

id love for you to do a photochop to see how it comes out in your renditions!

GL!

looks like a great project by the way! :wave::):thumbsup:

LOL..it works. I just looked up the aggreko website. Do they have any jobs going for other engineers that love to thrash Skylines ... and be photographed with attractive young lasses :)

A job and thrashing skylines i am willing to think about, the attrative young lasses you will have to fight me for!

If you would like to work in darkest Africa send your CV through :-)

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
