No diff in colour guys.....but the 'spectra' is never going to be absolutely the same (even on new cars!!), when comparing plastic to metal, as suggested above.

I'm pretty farkin fussy, and I'm still impressed by the finish and final colour!

The metal paint is perfect, with no UV wear or tonal changes.

ah i see, that's why i notice colour difference on my white v35 as well.. and when i showed my car to a mech, he was laughing wat shxt quality car did i imported.. and he start bragging that he could do a better job with the paint and added that 'but it gonna cost u"(with a smile)..

Danny...do not let that 'mechanic' touch your beautiful car.....!...he'll fu*k (with) it for sure.

this is the problem, in his workshop(BIG) there was 1 porsche cayman, 1 bmw sport on hoist (i don know wat model, but it's black coupe and super shiny with sexy rims on), 1 S15, 1 evo9... all sexy and stuff... and ... then my lauzy v35 sitting there stock, waiting to be fixed... (tail lights not working)

(also, before i left, another mech walked to him, telling him-the boss, tat *name*'s merc slk will come later tat day..)

the equipments, doesnt look cheap at all, all clean and shiny, never i have seen a workshop that clean.. and mayb that's the reason he charged top price for top job..? *possible

put yourself in my place, when u see this kind of situation, u gotta believe he CAN DO some pretty good job, rite?

Danny...I couldn't care if the man had diamonte incrusted Lambo's.....if he's got an attitiude that is incompatible to your needs and feelings then don't deal.

There are plenty of great workshops out there, with great staff who WANT/Need your cash!......and they'll look after you buddy!

Hey, but that's juzme!

+1

This goes for any industry or job

Very nice pictures mate, my 70th V35 is waiting for compliance plate , at first i though silver coupe is too common.. but after looking at you car's finish... NOT so now, glad that i got silver...

    • And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.
    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
