Thx Ill take a look at Yahoo and glad you like the rust, had the car at a show some months ago and asked a guy if he saw Millenium Jade painted R33, he said "no but have you seen that rustbicket in the corner" :D

Hehe took that pic from a weird angle, then rotated it to get it to look better by some reason but every time i look at it i get nauseous :P

Jade lip, black spokes

swap this - jade spokes, polished black lip

meisters with rusted spokes and polished lip :D

or do this

I'd suggest leaving the wheels as is (they look awesome) and instead fixing up the paint/panel (?) above the rear wheel...
^ +1

i know its been figured out, but hehehe

If anyone has any other color combo PLZ add, cause its really hard to choose! Not feeling anything over anything else right now :P

Photoshopped a version with Black lip/Jade spokes, added the other versions from the last post on page 1.

The wheels look like this right now :):

Im leaning more and more towards leaving them as they are right now but maybe i should implant the Kandy Apple Red somehow.. Kandy Red lip and grey spokes maybe... That would definitely stand out anyway, and probably just look like crap if i dont have the bonnet and trunk open :S But its tempting!

Just glad for your input!

No i guess it will look just to weird with the red lip :S!

None taken mate! It was an idea that got out of control i guess :rofl: I wanted to use real bolts but the glass fibre rear quarters beeing so thin made me choose to just glue them to the body. Then a mate of mine invited his friend that when he showed up proved beeing one of the best airbrush'ers in Sweden. I asked him if he could consider making bolt/pop's and then we shared ideas for a while which ended up in the final rusted pop's around the rear quarters and hood scoop ;)

Another thing i took in consideration was the fact that i didnt want a GTSt looking like a GTR-wannabe, with the quarters molded into the body :cool:

Me and some other friends sat down earlier today and disguessed what color to go with, and one of them thought that since the Jade-paint has got a small gold glow to it, same goes for the Kandy-paint, then why dont i gow with Gold lip/Black spokes OR the other way around? :)

mate hit up jessestreeter he can source some awesome wheels for you and if possible lose the fender gap.. the wheels just arent tough enough the body work you have done is all wide etc unles you get some killer fitment happening it will never look complete.

my 2c.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
