Hey Guys and Gals!

I want to get black side skirts for my r33 but I'm too undecided due to the front bar being harlequin as well? so thought I'd get some opinions. The car is harlequin with a black roof, boot and bonnet.

At the moment the roof and bonnet have flake through the black and the boot doesn't.

I'm getting the bonnet sprayed straight black without the flake...now if I get black side skirts...would it

a) look stupid, b) look ok or c) look ok if I got flake sprayed through the black as well....

Sorry if this sounds confusing and pointless but I just can't decide so some opinions would be good.

Here are some pics of the sky at the moment, skirtless:

hi Melski,

i think without the side skirts it looks fairly odd because the front bar is quite deep. I personally think it would look okay with black sideskirts. If you think it loooks bad maybe paint the bottom half of your front bar and sorta have a two tone theme? If you get the chance..see if you can find someone that can photoshop some side skirts on and see how they would look. Are you thinking of doing something to the rear bar? or leaving it as is?

The car does look a little odd with just the front bar, so I would recommend getting the skirts. I dont know about making them black though, I''m personally not a fan on multicoloured cars :)

I'm guessing the skirts would be pretty expensive to get painted the same colour as the base of the car?

What sideskirts? I agree it needs them to suit the proportion of the lower front. If you need help where to get good kits let me know.

Should get pods too

I would spray the skirts the same as the front. Wont look right in my opinion if its black.

:)

atm looks like a girl without pants....... mmmmmm girl without pants ;)

mmm pants

Pods are like a rear bar except they only cover like the left and right side not the middle bit of the back.

That didn't really make sense.

sidenote: how hard are pods to fit? can do it yourself?

Edited by fane

spray or leave black either way you would need an aftermarket sideskirt to finish the look of the car. atm it does look really odd. pod is a cheap alternative but if you can spare a few more $ then get aftermarket rear bumper...then your car will sit evenly and nicely.

sooo skirts and pods it is...leave black for now till I can afford the respray....sound liek a plan?

And yeah Fane that front bar is the same as mine, can u please pm me details of where u got ur side skrits (if u got them?)

i have pods if you want melski, i had them for my r33 but never put them on and since i dont have a r33 anymore..i have no use for them

looks exactly the same as these:

Do it when you can afford to do it right the first time. No point payn to have it sprayed black the first time then spraying it that chameleon colour later

If your doing pods jun is the only way gtr pods look ghey.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
