Hey all

Im buying a set of XD9s.

I cant decide between gunmetal grey and black...

Ive never seen the gunmetal in person which makes it hard. Does anybody have any pics of them on car? and there coming from interstate...

the gray does look dark but its hard to see whithout really seeing them in the light etc

There going on a white 33 GTR.

Yeah the gunmetal is nowhere near as dark as the picture you put up the top.. Got mine from JDM concept too. There are pics of them on my white R33 too and off in the sun here if this link works : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/389915-work-xd9-gunmetal-mgm/

Yeah they're really not.. I liked them on the white car.. Though I wanted black in the first place and if I still had the car I'd have gotten them powdercoated black by now.

Only reason i got the gunmetal was due to the 3 months or so wait for the black ones at the time - with plans to make them black eventually.

Black with the dish on all 4 wheels on the GTR would look nice I reckon.

Actually I'll have a look tonight - someone on here has/had the black XD9's on a white 33 GTR, think I have the pic saved somewhere.

    • 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 Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.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.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
