Blue. Crinkle coat finish. Or colour match to the car with crinkle coat finish.

Crinkle coat ftw

Nothing beats the stock red R34 GTR covers.

Chrome..?

hmmmm

i really like the nismo fine spec and the z tune is pretty awesome.

i thought the mines covers were purple..

It probably is, just the lighting in that photo, it looks darker.

The Nismo Fine Spec looks like a dark Gun Metal Grey or they have just polished up the Black R32 GTR / R33 GTR covers...

Talk to Chris at Craved Coatings. i got my covers powdercoated Black Cherry. looks awesome in the sun and incredible at night aswell

He can do crinkle coats and a bunch of pretty cool colours going by his website. Net is being gay and can't upload but have pics in my build thread if you wanna check em out

who does the crinkle stuff?

your answer is in post number 10

Was at my engine builders on the weekend and almost walked out with a set of black crinkle coat ones.

They look evil! And will most likely end up on my new engine :)

see :D

Yes Dave, ive actually heard you may have inherited the black 'stealth bomber' covers.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
