they are using those chrome coatings on drag cars and motorcross pipes, so I reckon it must be pretty good, even some of the professionals use those coatings like motoGP bikes and pro motocross as well as heaps of drag cars...

ye, but those guys don't care if it has to be re-done every 2nd race meet

post a hires pic of your engine bay and I'll shop it with different colours if you want... thats what I did for mine and I had a thread here to help me decide, its not until you can see the colours together on your engine bay that it can considered the right choice I reckon...

oh come on Zebra dont shoot it down... I want the chrome colour look.... Im gonna ask them how the motoGP bike fairs after a few race meets...

I know the commodore drag car they have done the whole engine bay on in chrome hasnt been redone ever and still looks awesome...

Yer thats what i think to. but i cant find anything... the battery the way it is stands out like dogs balls...

Was thinking of getting some stainless steel and making something when i make the box for the pod

I think because there is some black in the bay, electrical and vacuum hoses, that the contrast of the blue isnt enough.

so maybe reduce the black, easy way and cheaper than replacing or cover all of the tired look hose and wire coverings could be to use stainless steel sheet to cover all except engine, fuse box, air intake. that would make the engine the focus so any colour would 'pop', custom box, or arc intake box and cool fuse box cover. the only other thing you would see is the strut brace and possibly use some venting on the stainless covers to keep things interesting and functional heat wise perhaps...

that would tidy it up, give it that custom show look, easy to maintain and nowhere near as expensive as colour coding or replacing a heap of other stuff... definitely have a wow factor when you open the bonnet... i'll shop it up and show u...

kinda like this....

maybe a tad more space around engine to allow for some movement, but this way it keeps the focus on the cool stuff and makes it so you dont have to keep all the wiring and hoses in mint awesome condition to have a wow factor bay....

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
