^^^are they veilside andrew V's??

or a china copy..

you have little to no hope of getting them if they're veilsides man..

and Jangles - well spotted.. that is pretty much the exact colour and wheels i suggested..

toff - end result will probably end up looking a bit like my car - except WAY better if you use Weds Kranze LXZ.

you'd be suprised what pearls result in colours to the naked eye..

for instance.. white paint with blue pearl:

nah real veilside Andrew evo's , ok i'll cross them off my list then?

the colour on that toysan looks alot like candy black/brown with a gold basecoat , it's a nice colour , but would look fairly average on an overcast day imo (i searched for the colour on google but couldn't find many pics) . I'm a spraypainter/panel beater by trade so i've played about with pearl a fair bit :):D , the car is actually white with a pearl blue and mauve atm but looks pretty dirty/pearl fade

funny story , i kinda got offered a set of weds kranze lxz at the same time as i bought the kf's , only reason i bought the kf's is because they were chrome instead of silver kranze

iceekool: is that the same colour as on late model x-trails?

as odd as the name is, I take it you are looking at going for the "hellaflush" look? I say go a nice pearl white in that case as it will bring out the clean lines of the car, aswell as help the chrome wheels blend into the car properly (rather than stand out if the colour was black)

^^ too bad someone can't photoshop that bronze onto your ceff , imo with your car it would be 'stand out' :D

i allways think of hella flush as extremely low offset rims on 45 degree angles to keep them under the guards . ok my main aim that i'm piecing together in my head is of a car that kind of blends together so to speak , i don't want the car to out shine the rims but i don't want the rims to out shine the car if you understand me , by the pictures in my head it'd be easy to f**k up and make a pile of ugly which is what i don't want , honestly i think i was headed that way with my purple ceff , std bars didn't suit that at all (autech kit would save it with a set of work equips or better offset gt-c's +bulk lowness ) . mr eps is pretty much on the money what he's suggesting with the white on chrome , classy wheels make classy paint look good :O

I know what you mean by that, but I think thats more JDM VIP style. Go with mr eps' idea and do the white on chrome :D

nahhhh.. thanks for the offer toffy but i had a cefiro for six years man...

my time has passed for them :P

if they were sevs compliable i would have bought a late model nice one. no doubt.

but the ones in aust are mostly shitters, and you can only import MY88 ones.. and pickings are VERY slim for them :devil:

i am one ceffy owner that won't be going back unfortunately!

but yes - it definitely needed more low... but it was a daily commuter!

EDIT:

if these were sevs compliable - i'd happily take owership of THIS CEFIRO for 460xxxyen

I don't think that pearl white is the same - the one on the x-trail looks slightly off-white.

QT1 looks like a silverish white depending on the lighting - direct sunlight it looks like the plain QM1.

Most common pearl white is QX1.

Apparently QT1 is very rare - no dealers seem to be able to get hold of it. Only places that seem to stock it is Infiniti USA.

Closest equivalent silver/peal white is on the new Toyota Klugers - however the pearl effect is not as fine as on the Nissan's. It seem's the Toyota's version seems somewhat cheap IMHO.

It's funny to read back and find this thread , even after X amount of months , i've conjured the same end result in my head , i'm not sure of the fk kit though , being daily and wanting lowness may need a comprimise , and it wont be the lowness :whistling: someone should swap me the fk (or the inspection?) kit for a good autech one . here's a pic of the std pearl white , all browned off as pearl white does when it gets old

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
