skyline engine bays and boots are poorly finished compared to other makers of cars it is usually base coat or black, most white r33 don't even have color in boots, this was done to save money for Nissan, funny thing i have seen magna's and commy's with complete paint coverage in engine bays

nah its not black its like a grey colour.. just a dull looking grey i dunno if its the base coat for the silver or not

KN6 - Dark Grey Pearl...

But just don't add the 'Pearl' so it's dull... Haha!

I have the same colour in my bay (car is KR4). I had to touch some areas up around the cowl area and couldn't find anywhere that suggested what colour is was.

I ended up trying a few mixes, the closest one I could get was a light grey from dupli color mixed with a small amount of "duck egg blue" model paint. Actually came up spot on after a few goes at getting the ratio!

I look forward to the day when I can remove the engine and strip everything and get a nice coat of KR4 gloss in the engine bay mm mmm.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
