mate, if no ones got picks of a car painted in candy apple red check out a few hot-rod sites....the colour was THE colour to paint your rod in a while ago so I'm sure there are heaps of examples.......I know for a fact that 'House of Kolor' do a sweet candy apple red....maybe contact them for pics or samples.

yea they are both candy apple red just under different lights and from different angles

i think the wine red with gold pearl would look good just gotta be careful that they dont put too much pearl

but the candy apple is the better of the two IMO

what do u guys recon of the wine red color of a r32 gtst with a gold pearl in the clear coat? :

Sounds friggin good... red cars are awesome.

Jet's is pretty much the same as mine - the AN0 marone.. under certain light it can look more red, but its not a proper red. They grab attention though when tricked out with a few visual mods.

I saw an "insect" R33 around (mainly green, but touches of purple and things in there).. looked hot as..

Hey guys,

I had my R31 Skyline re-sprayed 6 months ago..

I had the standard beacon Red re-sprayed in 2-pac with Crazy amounts of GOLD pearls thorugh it, all using Spies Hecker.

check this pic out and tell me what you think of the look..

in pure daylight with NO clouds in the sky, it changes from Deep Red to almost a HSV TigerMICA Orange/Gold

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
