Bling bling, eg. west coast custom style, pimp my car and the like.

That stuff just looks absolute crap and really only suits fat ased american execs trying to be gangsters, oh and the ladies.

hot tip, leave the bling to the ladies :domokun:

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.

of course they are made to be pretty :domokun:

as for the GTR wing on NON gtrs, maybe some people do need the downforce and all the rest of the wings are just plain useless

Chromes makes skyline look ugly

I'd like to say full beige leather interior makes the car ugly but deep down I think it's comfy.

BN bodykits on whatever skyline, genuine or otherwise.

Veilside bodykit ......(as above)

stock wheels make the car look ugly

Cars dumped on its ass looks like shit

Cars with strange bodykits that don't compliment the natural body line makes the car look ugly

Shopping lists----urgh

Wide kit with wrong offset wheels.

It's all about the individual preference..........and i do say, I've seen a few nicely put together cars that even though it's not to my taste, you've got to give them credit for having the skills to have it all nicely done.

and yes, sooner or later it will turn to shit fight....it only takes one tough guy (loser)

This is clearly about individual preference, no one can be just"mainstream" and go for the race look. Every one has their own opinions and tastes, this is what makes us individuals, the thing i dont get is why you get looked down upon if you do have chromes? So what .. the bloke loves his bling .. in his eyes he has bought rims for his car that HE thinks looks nice. Im not saying they are really friggin' good, but then coming onto the forums and posting it up, then getting flamed to the shithouse makes the driver feel a lil' "unwanted" and makes them feel like an outsider.

So whatever the mod, a skyline is a skyline. Whoever has their own opinion on what it SHOULD look like, keep it as an opinion and not a generalisation of what it should be.

I might just be 17, but i just wanted to get my point across.

One of my opinions is, a god damn monster tacho sitting in the wrong position with multi coloured backgrounds on a skyline would look really eww in my opinion.

I like my wing... I don't like the duck wing on most skylines, it takes away from the mean look they are meant to have...

I'm also sick of everyone doing the exact same fucking thing... BE AN INDIVIDUAL! All I see is GTR wings and Duck wings... I literally don't know ANYONE else who has my wing... I also get a lot of compliments for it... just some people are too afraid to speak their unique opinion fearing persecution...

That being said... ANY monster tacho unless you're running 10s or less

Chrome rims that look like mirrors or dinner plates...

Most other things, used in moderation, look good...

I guess there a fine line between ugly nad DIFFERENT, i prefer cars that try and be alittle different. (within reason of course!)

But as above mentioned, GTR and Duck winds are the go! i mean thats it so i like to see something a bit different hanging on the back... if my car wasnt a GTR the wing would have gone ages ago!!

And i hate huge chrome rims on skylines, cos for me skylines are meant to be fast, and look fast... not have the "sex spec" look

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      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.
