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.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA

      That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
