Over here you're more likely to see it on a Smart or Hiace than an 'R.

That said - $10 says the first tuner cars to use this as a customisation option will be Autosalon specials, rather than enthusiast/club cars.

That looks an awfull lot like mirra chrome....which is a black ground coat with an overlay...ive done a bike in it once ....its awfully expensive and very difficult to use

Most of those cars look like they are Satin black, which actually looks black. Matte black tends to look like a chalkboard (greyish) and you'd be worried someone will write grade 2 times tables on it :)

That mirrored R34 looks awesome. Pity it's about as street legal as a washing machine.

I can just imagine people driving past it at sunset.... ahh! my eyes! they're burning!

The best would be the system that the Toyota concept car a few years back had - being able to see where your friends were on GPS. The technology is there - if everyone on SAU got a GPS and transmitter we would never get lost at meets cuz all the others would show up on GPS.

And the spotted thread would be ten times longer.... and for bored people you could play flash tiggy on the back streets. (When you get hit with high beams, you're "it").

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
