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.

    • Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.
    • Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.
    • More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.
    • IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.
    • They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.
