No they're not commadore rims. Although they do like like em. But I was like the first person to by that series of rim. I swear!

Yep its my chop. Just messing around. I just wanted to see if I could make my car yellow. It was fairly tricky. Didn't spend too much time with the rest of it though.

well if you have photoshop, open an image of a car with a black/dark panel, then what you do is make a new layer, and then just airbrush over it in a bright colour like yellow you don't have to be accurate or nothing just go skitz over the area. Then in the layer properties where it says blending, set it to colour dodge, then djust the opacity till you have something that looks like the yellow in the pic above... and that's sort of what colour dodge is.

you should get something like in the attachment below.

the only reason changing a black car into any colour is the fact that black never shows the full range of depth in a colour that standard base colours do. Keep in mind black is when no light is reflected, the only thing reflecting light is the polish on the topcoat.

So... keeping that in mind, one can possibly get "some" depth out of a black car by taking the image of the surface, use a gaussian blur, then adjust the curves of hue saturation etc until you have a transitional depth, and then blend it back to grey. You then use this greyscale map over a base colour to create an "extrapolated field of depth".

So there you go, how to make black into a colour and make it look good... now get cracking.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
