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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
