So the question is what colour best represents the personality behind the car? As a designer I can say to all those that think Red goes faster, buy a F1 and get some advertising stickers on and say "Enzo is sleepin tight thinking how much money Malbro has raised on that red car" Yes the red is the advertising aggressive colour of choice. Just like the woman in red. But the 80?s are gone mannnnnnnn. So there is a bit of a mind bending going on when thinking what represents you as the driver, best. Yellow, green, black and so on. Take it from the movies. ?Allways bet on black? Snipes . Not bad. So is the attitude of the driver important. Hell yes!!! So what makes you feal that the people will stare. You paint it. Well we all know what the R stands for.

Now to technicality. Dark colour loose form and give total blended appearance of shape. So that is why fat people don?t wear stripes??.

Mass and volume is best defined by shadow and dynamics in the body line. To get that you need light and some definitive body. So why paint the skyline white. The answer is the what captures light and is cheaper choice for the manufacturer. Some engineering heating ratio principles apply but why bore you to death. That?s what climate control is for ha J Body kit helps but Skyline doesn?t need it.

But to stand out of the crowd you will think of yourself first. The car second. Money prefirst. Fixing scratches down the line third. And subjective ****ers making comments like, ?why paint the engineering miracle in a herbal tea drinking feminine issues lime green for **** sake. Even the old lemon didn?t deserve that treatment. Keep it clean kids!!!

?Life sucks get a helmet?

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
