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

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.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
