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!!!

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
