i saw that tutorial on changing colour so i thought id make my own one of fitting bodykits.

1] Open up your picture of a car WITH a bodykit that you want to fit on another car or a front bar/side skirt/rear bar/etc that you want.

2] Use the polygonal lasso tool to go around the part that you want.

3] Press CTRL+C to copy the selected piece and then open your picture you want the bar to go on and press CTRL+P to paste it into the picture.

4] Now you have to distort/rotate/scale the image to make it fit onto your image. Go to Edit > Transform > Rotate/Distort/Scale (choose one of them) and now pull and pinch the piece into shape and fit it over the picture.

**Note: ** It varies from car to car on how the piece will fit. If the pictures are at the same angle and view then it will be easy to fit than if it werent. This example project is a very easy front bar to fit because of the angles the cars are on.

5] Once it is fitted over, you will need to re-colour the front bar. Sometimes if you just re-colour the front bar it still wont look correct so you need to re-colour the whole car to a new colour or a similiar one to make it look perfected. Use the other tutorial by that other guy (i cant remember his name) to do this.

Do this with other bodykit parts and you will have a car with a whole new bodykit. Fit on wheels/spoiler/and recolour it to get it looking perfected.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
