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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
