nice painting skills.

but i think it looks a bit weird the way the black comes so close to the front wheel, and cuts in at the headlight half way.

would have looked better on a slant, with the whole front in black, including black front bar.

sort of like this

I like it cause its different. every skyline looks the same where i live either 1 of 4 colours white,grey,black,silver. so i did mine up to be different if everyone did there cars up the same we wouldn't be on the SAU forum it'd be the HSV owners club(no offence guys)

It's good that you like it.

it's your car.

You were after opinions..

I just think the black comes down too far.

and it makes it look as though it wasn't thought out very well (to me!).

I don't mind cars which are 2 toned with a massive range of colours.. even those ugly gold and brown silvia's look ok sometimes.

but this black comes down too far I think.

As someone mentioned earlier, if it had stopped at the bonnet/top of the guards level, it would have looked great.

Mine is painted Westinghouse white from factory and I think it looks better than that combo you've done.

Having said that, I like both the black or the candy red you used, but on their own. not in that design.

Geez so much hate...

It's your car man, if you like how it turned out then f**k what the rest of the people here think.

I like it, not my idea of PERFECT but it's very different, at least you're not the same as every other man and his dog.

why is it so important to be different than everyone else?

I don't get the obsession.

Why the fark do you want to be the same?????? :(

Fark, it will be a boring place if we all did the same things, had the same opinions, drive the same cars, had the same colour/mods/power/handling/etc/etc/etc.............................

true thanks heaps. i chose to be different because when you go to a show or an event there's nothing worse than seeing the same car over and over. i posted these photo's just to see how it would be viewed by other people and and alot of you like it and alot of you dont and thats cool. but if it bothers you that much and it's (yuck,worst you've seen) looks like shit or what ever just think you dont own it and you dont have to live with it. if its that bad please SAU delete this thread and my apologize if i offended all the skyline owners of australia.

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
