Hey guys,

I was thinkin about a 2 tone colour scheme for an already painted black 33!

I swear if I was back 2 d day when i bought my car i would've chosen a white one!

I was thinkin a carbon bonnet and boot?...keep in mind i dont really want to paint the majority of my car...just lil parts..ie...bonnet, boot!

Any ideas and pics with a black car would be great!!

Gloss black and flat black look pretty cool

Black bottom (and all the other hard to paint areas) with a red top half, split up with flames or tribal graphics of some description. There was something on IGNITION DVD a while ago about it, and it had a ute painted like that, but I cant remember which one it was. Looked sick though, maybe someone could do some photo shopping for you? DOnt ask me, I'm shit!!

Ill show you mine when its finished.

I have a 260RS, in black. What i'll be doing to pretty it up a lil is to give it a two tone job, by painting a pearl over the black, from the bodyline (near the door handles) and up, so including the bonnet and roof etc. Or, vice versa, from the bodyline down.

This is fairly cheap and easy to do. Im thinking an aqua pearl, or maybe a dark blue, just something that stands out a lil, and a pinstripe along the join in about 1/8th inch. The pinstripe will coordinate with the pearl eg if its a dark red pearl, ill run a dark red metallic pinstripe.

Can add to it by throwing some glitter in with the pearl and so on. Then re-clear it, obviously. The pin stripe is to A) provide a tidy line to break up the two colours and B) neaten the two finishes, as where you have painted an re-cleared will sit a lil bit higher.

PS Street Commodores did this to their monaro. Was flat red, they just made a glitter and orange pearl mix for the top half of the car, looked mint. For a commo. Nice finish on it, anyway.

down mask it up and then reclear with this in the clear .

While its in sunlight it shows up a little but its movement that gives it a dancing effect but out of the sun its just plain black .Its just another thing that could be done with a black car .

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
