Well I thought this would be pretty appropriate for this section :D

I really just dont like blingy skylines... I bought mine to drive not look at (though I have to admit ive added a few mild aesthetic modifications) :D

i agree man. my car is built for a purpose and not looks!

:pirate:

hmm make a skyline ugly.

- 95% of the time Chromies look terrible. Change that to ANY NON-Jap Rims

- Bodykits that increase the overall height of the car (from bottom of panels to roof) without increasing the width. (infact. most aftermarket kits for skylines dont really grab me)

- T wing spoilers, unless we are talking about a fairly serious time attack Skyline.

- Vinyl Graphics / Airbrushing

- Too low. i.e dumped on its guts. (starts to lose the performance look imo)

- My basic conclusion. Every car has its strengths and weaknesses. And Skylines are not made to be "pretty". There body shape to me (and im sure lots of people will agree) is best suited for a tough "race" look.

Luke.

Kits are good as long as you change rims to 18s or 19s

Chrome rims are good as long as they are jap

wings can look good if they are a GTR wing

And if we all have stock looking skyline its just like owning a commodore

VERY HOT LINES

ugly lines are ppl that own stock colour lines and put 20inch chrome on them with big stupid gauges when its a stock engine and i hate ppl that go cheap with ozzy spec wheels lol

Hrmm, what makes a skyline ugly...

Big ricey chrome wheels, wheels that don't fill out the guards enough, big bollocks off body kits that aren't needed and probably a huge ass wing as well. Even on a race car, it looks ugly (but the car wasn't build to look good, so those with big wings on their race cars shouldn't be offended :pirate: ).

you know there is such a thing as being built for purpose (decent track handling) and still looking a bit show, just depends how you do it....

+1

This is the way im building my line,custom paint,19s,full kit,gtr wing,cf bonnet,audio,retrim in black laether but at the same time full forged built motor, handling,cooling the lot witch is what i think makes a perfect car

Oooo I think this is a bit of a touchy subject..

I've got 4 doors because I have kids (2 boys and a baby girl)... it's a bitch having a coupe when you've got kids.. not like I can send them back where they came from.

I have a giant carbon fibre shopping trolley wing.. was on the car when I bought it.. but I don't mind it.

Everyone is different.. and I like to be different.. I don't want my R34 to be the same as every other R34.. Besides.. it's easy to find in the car park..

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
