[PSI Parts]

Build is looking good, be sure to send us some photos once it's all painted

[ShyBoi]

As I messaged will bring it past the workshop and you can see it for yourself and get pic, by the time I post pics here you would have seen it at PSI.

I'm subscribed to this thread. I like your idea mate...but I'm just worried that all that 'mixing and matching' of bodykit parts will make the car look wierd...I've never mix and matched parts before so I don't know but fingers cross it will look nice. You should have gone Do Luck front bar or 400R front bar...as all the other areas are a bit 'extreme' and yet the GTR front bar is probably going to look to tamed for the rest of the car.

However, it's coming along nicely mate...good luck with everything...

Damn....Daniel, you're going full ball with this, aren't you...make sure you pace yourself...modifying your car too quickly can cost a shitload and ruin your love for your car as you'll get bored when it's all done and you've driven it around a few months...slowly slowly mate...if your car is a GTS4 - make sure you Rb26DET and turbo kit the f**kaah!

[ShyBoi]

This is Stage 1 about to be complete Kevin, then yes most likely RB26 will get dropped in end of next year or 2011 so project will be continuing...then possibly onto a drift car after so I wont get bored lol

[ShyBoi]

Kevin only reason I had the Do Luck skirts was to put the carbon lip on them, you'll see what I mean when its done...and the 400R Rear Bar is just so its a bit lower at the back end of the car

hi mate, my gtr is at the workshop getting tuned with new performance mods. Cosmetically, it is just a r33 gtr vspec with a genuine Nismo 400r front bar, that's it. Doesn't stand out too much. I'm actually doing the opposite to you, I am after a stealthy look. have taken off all my badges too.

[ShyBoi]

Stealth is good for engine work, but mine will have an engine to suit most likely start of 2011 will see...painting the engine bay matte black

[ShyBoi]

New pictures of car before and after shots, and also how the colour varies in different lights.

Body prepped and ready to paint

Paint done without clear

Paint with clear coating

Boot lid looks like is dripping candy bronze during natural daylight

At night under factory lights the car looks gold

Other pics will be up end of the week once car has been fitted and new wheels and parts installed

[Spunky Munky]

Looking really good mate...so what colour have you chosen to go with it? Dark Gold? Top-Secret Japan style ah?

[ShyBoi]

Its like a copper bronze, cause Top Secrets a bit to light...but as i said under different light it looks totally different, cant wait to see what it looks like when its out of the booth on the road though cause that'll be the true colour for it

Nice colour choice...whether it's pretty or not, one thing is I've never seen another Skyline with this colour on the roads!

You do realise that after the paint dries properly, it will slightly change and then set - this will be it's actual colour thereafter.

Remember to give it good drying time mate...there's no rush...I suppose.

[ShyBoi]

It will be sitting in the shop for a week before it comes out into the sun, it already sat in highfill for a week after that was done...gives the paint time to harden.

This is also why i went to DNA Paints to get something different from the normal, black, white, silver, red, blue, green, orange, purple sort of colours, at least u'll know u spotted me on the roads, most likely nepean or prinny hwy or in sth east area.
