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...

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
