i'm almost certain that black car has had a respray.... the paint quality and gloss levels of the R's from factory are awesome.

99% sure that's a satin black respray... just what i wanted to do to my car :P

(or possibly a photoshop respray?)

I reckon it's been photo Shopped! The Numberplate has been blackened and looks the same colour as the paint!!

Yeah its a vinyl overlay... dude also owns an F430 Scuderia that just got delivered.

Here's another Singaporean GTR

I asked the owner of the original orange GT-R about this and he says it was done by the export agency responsible for bringing GT-Rs into Singapore.

Not sure if they still own the car or have sold it on to another person but yeah it was done with the knowledge of the Zele guys.

more info on vinyl overlay needed... STAT :D

ditto... I want, I want!

seriously this would be cheaper than painting the car and if you decided down the track you didn't like it you could just go back to the original paint... it would protect it too!

the satin black GTR looks badass, I love it :)

Not sure if its available in Oz but there are companies in the US that can change your car colour using this stuff and when you are bored with it you strip it off without damaging your paint. I was sent a series of pics showing them changing a 911 from white to blue and the end result was so good you couldn't tell.

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
