Hi Guys,

I am possibly thinking going white rims but i am not sure how it will look. any other suggestions???

oh....whoops...:D

my bad man..but yeah have a look in there see if someone has done something similar to you

go for a good high contrast racing colour, bright orange or green or something then get a subtle graphic with the same colour along with a black or silver to match... or paint wing mirrors to match...

Have you got a good side on photo, I'd do some up for you if you like, not car graphics just some rim and body colouring, not trying to make a sale here... I just like seeing cars out there with a bit of style and personality... it doesn't have to be much but it does have to be decent not cheap lookin..

Then you can have a unique looking car rather than just your very average bronze rims..

I wouldn't do white as they dirty and I have found some brake dust if not clean off regularly can actually stain the white

Black looks tuff as.

Maybe keep the colour but do a red lip out line on the edge of the rim...

Thats something to think about. Might give it a go cause it's cheap to do anyway.

gold.
Gold like the Volk GTC Gold

Hmmmmm..... Not sure how the 33gtr rims would look in gold. Definatley something to think about though.

I'm not a huge fan of graphics on cars. Sometime they do look really good though when they are subtle. The only reason i'm doing this is because it only cost like $3 for a spray can and i can change colour every couple of months.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys.

spray can, you gotta be kinding surely... sorry I reckon that will look as cheap and tacky as it sounds...

I just don't cheap or tacky I'm afraid... nor do graphics or anything have to be subtle to look good, its all in the way its done, but it does as always come down to personal opinion.

Hey the first time i used spray cans nobody knew until i told them. They look fine. The pic of my car i put up is with spray cans. Even up close it looks good. I've also seen my rims up against some properly painted rims and couldn't tell the difference.

The only thing is that they don't hold up against scratches as well so every month or so i did a quick touch up. Not hard to do and for $6 you can't go wrong.

I wanted to get them powder coated but don't wanna waste my money when i wanna change colours again in a few months.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
