lol dude, im not sure where u got the terms photo-cloning/swap switching...etc.., mayb thas what ppl call it, i find the best way to change the color of anything short of using a million tools and doin it slowly and in portions, like say when u photoshop a person to add make up, remove skin discoloration etc... is to 'colorize' the section u want to change color...

so, to start with, once u bring an image into photoshop, in the layers bar to the right you should see the image as a single layer, and it should have a little 'lock' symbol next to it.

double click this symbol and click 'ok' on the box that pops up, (this allows you to edit the layer)

now u need to learn how to use the pen tool(if you dont know how already), its not too hard and will be ur best friend, seriously, once u know how to use the pen tool, use it to outline the section of the image that you want colored,

(to use the pen tool for those who dont know, just click down the mouse for the first point along the outside of the image your outlining, the click at another point along the outside and whilst holding the mouse down, drag out one of the little bezier handles to make the line curve (if it needs to be curved) else dont drag the line and move onto the next point, after you have curved the line, hold the 'alt' key and click on the point on the line that you just created.

this prevents the line going all wonky when u go to create your next point.

continue placing points and curving the line where necessary and the 'alt' clicking on the point after curving the line until you join your line back at the beginning

)

ok, so once you have your outline, right click in the centre of the shape you just created and choose 'make selection' from the pop out menu.

now hold down 'ctrl' and press the letter 'u'

this will bring up the colorize filter menu

once here click on the check box in the bottom right corner of the window labelled 'colorize'

now move the sliders left and right, the top is for the 'hue' (the color), the middle is for the 'saturation' (the amount of color put onto the image) and the bottom is the 'lightness' (how light or dark the selection is)

so play with these sliders until you get the color you want, and click ok, and hey presto, a nicely colored car...

hope this helps...

if i get the chance, ill play wit those pics a lil for ya too...

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
