I bought 3 different body kits, and used one for the front, one for back, and the other for both side skirts. Also added a second spoiler on the car, and its functional. Please give feedback.post-43903-1193625181_thumb.jpgpost-43903-1193625199_thumb.jpgpost-43903-1193625222_thumb.jpgpost-43903-1193625237_thumb.jpg

is it just me, or are the front and rear bumpers different colours to the rest of the car?

If you clicked on my signature it will tell you everything about the car. Its called a jigsaw paint job. NO 2 panels are the same shade of silverstone and pearl. Ex. the fender doesnt match the hood, the hood doesnt match the doors, the doors doest match the side skirts, the side skirts doesnt match the rear end etc. PLEASE CLICK THE LINK, I HAVE OVER 60,000 WRAPPED UP IN THIS CAR(SPONSOR $ MAINLY) BUT THE LINK WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAR.

jig saw paint job? so you intentionally went out of your way to get the panels mismatched?

hehe sorry in oz that's a sign of a bad paint job... maybe we just haven't caught onto the latest craze in the american import mod scene.

overall the car looks hot... kudos for making sure the chances of someone else's kit looking the same is minimal, but by mixing the different aero kits the lines don't flow as nicely near the bottom of your car... the front has a very GT styled skirting, the sides have a body curve mimicking shape, and the rear has some aggressive skirting. I'd have gone with the front and rears of the side skirts, just for visual flow.

this is nice:

And having every panel a different shade of the same colour is a good idea why? o_O Looks nice but it'd look a hell of a lot better if the paint matched...

Its hard to tell from a picture or even when the sun isnt out. But on a sunny day or under lights, and always when its moving it looks like all the pieces fit together like a puzzle. It's sorda like like fading the car from light to dark to light again. Just different shades of the same color.

I've never heard of the jigsaw thing either, but heck if you like it that's all that matters :rofl:

This is the kit we have ordered for the Mrs car, just taking a while to come front Japan. The car is black however :)

i'm not having a go, it was merely a question...

whilst the car is not to my taste, i can appreciate the effort you've put into making it something you like, so good on you.

funky - that first one is porn, second one has a nice rear end, but the front bumper is a bit too long for my liking.. and whats with the wheels? hah

looks good but.........................................................

I personally dont like the eyelids much

an the first pic it looks like they dont fit real good either

take them off an would look a heap better in my opinion

I think i know what you mean about the jigsaw thing.

Funky,

First pic is the best i've ever seen vskf's, i hate the look of them always. But they work with the car on that one.

Whats with the different coloured rims? what a waste. Leave them a standard colour not some rainbow colour. *blurgh*

Man i love dish.

owner's a regular drifter. cheap rubber, multiple sets.
why you don't have Brembos with ur 350z?

Because in the US only the track and Grand Touring models have them. Not sure how it works in Aus. But you would figure that this wonderful "showcar/racecar" (sarcasm) of his would have a BBK.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
