The californian stlye 2 tone paint job is just the new new 'in thing'.. it will be out just as quickly as chameleon paint did..

there's already HEAPS of 2 tone skylines out there..

be different ant paint a tiger with a half naked girl and thunder in the background on your bonnet..

holy crap... crazy arse coincidence but that is Jana in the passenger seat isn't it. I went to college with her in Canberra...

I remember seeing that picture on her facebook thing a few weeks ago

Edited by Baconer

LOL yeah that's her...

ex girlfriend now, things didn't work out between us but that's life ey...

Rhys just decided to use THAT photo for the photoshop bahaha

i don't take too many pictures of my car but i'll take a few at Salon lol

car's going into the shop within the next two weeks so i have that long to decide...

everyone from SAUWA is telling me to do the two tone thing... i'm thinking i might just stay with the bootlid, bonnet and leave the mirrors CF...

rims will go black with polished lip, interior is hopefully getting done too but with time and money comes patience isn't it?

i am NOT patient...

anyway, keep the ideas coming guys? i've also thought that if i don't do the roof i can always put vinyl over the top, if i paint it though it will only be $400 more... man so much to think about but like i said keep it coming!

Andrew :)

haha can't get over that coincidence...

two tone panda look is a bit over done but it does look good. Depending on your funds you could try a different 2 tone combo to stand out a bit (reverse panda, black/blue, black/red etc.). Post some pics of whatever you decide on.

I thought typical panda style was bonnet black, bumpers black (obviously this wont look to good) mirrors black, wing black and any side stickers black, I suppose you could make some.

For autosalon I feel this is abit boring as autosalon is all about BIG and beautiful or BLING BLING and 2 dollar 12 yr olds

That carbon painting technique, is interested. I might give it a go on my bonnet.

Post up some pics if you try it, Esp. in sunlight.

I was thinking it'd be alright for detail peices, valve covers for instance.

Sorry Andrew, that was the only decent photo I had of your car. The other one had no sides skirts and R33 rims...

couldnt you photoshop her out and put like hayden or jessica alba in there??? with a few cup sizes up..

  • 4 weeks later...

only thing i don't like about the ganador mirrors (which i only just found out recently) ...are they aren't actual carbon, but rather, carbon LOOK. Now that i know, i'm just gonna buy unpainted ganador mirrors and paint them black to go with the panda theme i'm goin for with my white 34. it's a shame u bought them brand new, otherwise i would have also suggested that u paint over them in black...

white bonnet, white roof, white boot (top only), black everywhere else.paint dish on rims gloss black and the spokes white. looks alright imo and i dont think ive seen it done yet... (might hav been done b4..not sure... memory like a goldfish)

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
