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

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
