Nice one mate. I'd probably leave the center stripe black to break it up a little.

Here's one I did a while back. VHT chrome, then several layers of red clear coat ontop, gloss black in the centre with gold pin striping.

Thanks guys, (OO)SKYLINE(OO), no sanding just a good clean with water, used a touch of degreaser for the surface to become nice n clean. Yeh was gona do red but i see red all the time.

Howie i did buy gloss black also and was considering not painting the whole middle part but just painting the 3 stripes that run down the middle... somethin different. will see what happens. I need to put some gloss on it now. The one you did looks really good

Im quite happy with the way it turned out, the GT was a bit of a bitch to do, and i had to sand things back soooo many times lol. But i like it for my first effort at spraying =]

Howie yours looks awesome by the way, Neo version of an RB26 =P

hey that's looking sweet :) I like the panda theme. Got a pic of it installed?

Haha cheers, panda theme lol, wasnt really going for that but i suppose it is lol. Whole colour scheme of the car is black and white, white car, black interior, white GTR spoiler with smaller black wing, etc. Thought it would keep it smooth =]

Havent got any pics of it installed yet because i only just finished painting it lol, it is touch dry but i wanna give it about a day before i throw it back in the engine bay. Will take some pics when it is installed again

Looks good guys! I especially like howies :P

I was sitting here trying to figure out why the Howies and Hanaldo's looked different...then noticed ahhhh one's a GT-T and ones a GT...derr

Got a question, when you're painting them how to you go about colour coding the text?

I've never done it before and want to give it a go but want to do it properly. Do you just paint the whole lot then hand paint the text with a brush?

Or mask them up somehow? Not sure if its worth the effort because Howies looks great anyway.

Any special tips on how to mask up properly or is it just as straight forward as it looks?

Cheers.

how bad are r34 engine covers lol. and u cant take them off coz of the maze of hoses underneath :P

(personal opinion, but i have one myself, and would much prefer to to be naked under the bonnet like the 33's lol)

in saying that, looking at some of these i might give mine a spray soon, perhaps it will change my opinion :bunny:

I found when painting my 33's rear garnish the easiest way to do the lettering was to

Paint it all the colour you want the lettering to be

Let it dry then lightly coat the letters in vaseline

Spray the whole thing the background colour

Let it dry and wipe off the vas.

Difficult to get perfect but put in the time and be pleased with the result

      A Boy's Love For His Rb20

      By Roy · Posted

      So Bathurst coming up so really need to get this new ECU in. I regret going to flex fuel and all the headaches associated with DBW with cruise etc....a miss the simplicity of Power Fc   I make enough power that I should have just gone back to 98 but...anyway Turns out with the std inlet I cant really go any bigger than 60mm DBW so wasnt able to play with that aspect of the update.

      SAUNSW Pizza Run - Talotta's Pizzeria - Saturday 27th July 2024

      By sammi_d · Posted

      We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one... So you've asked, and now we're delivering! Since your tastebuds are tingling, feast your eyes on the event details: Date: Saturday 27th July 2024 Meet Location: Parking Lot - 1 Parkview Dr, Sydney Olympic Park Meet Time: Meet at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm departure Destination: Talotta's Pizzeria, 1-3 Bridges St, Kurnell Map: https://tinyurl.com/saunsw-talottas  We'll meet at the carpark on the corner of Parkview Drive and Australia Avenue in Sydney Olympic Park. When we leave the parking lot, we'll head down Australia Ave, and turn right onto Homebush Bay Drive at the large roundabout near DFO. As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
