when i bought my skyline it had a really bad paint job so now i'm repainting it but i'm not sure what colour... i can't afford harelquin or pearlescent paint... so what colours turn out good on skylines? i've been thinking yellow or a green. Any pictures of these colours would be nice!

Phantom Purple has been done and is now common.

Hot house Green is a greaat colour, especially with a carbonfibre bonnet.

However its a Holden paint and we all know Holen paint is made with very shit chemicals.

Thanks,

Essential.

Hot house green looks damn nice i rekon that'd look good too, go for it. ;)

i do realise that it is a personal choice but i also believe getting advice is also a wise move?

Hot house green? - PICS?

SS8_GOHAN - you use the picture from my gallery photo? and put a green or a yellow?

so far i think i'm going for a monaro yellow

how are paint jobs usually done... my car will be sanded but will the original colour still be visiblein places like the inside of the door and places like that? the painter has assured me that he does a REALLY GOOD job and will guarantee it. he's taking 2 weeks to do it.

Kor: In issue number #46 of High Performance Imports Magazine there is a Toyota Supra on the front cover that is painted in "Lamborghini Diablo Burnt Orange" I belive this would look better and more origonal than any Holden colour or Ford colour for that matter, the paint is very nice. ;)

davor,

if you want to keep resale in mind then i woudn't go for yellow or green because no one is really going to buy it later down the track.

why not a dark blue or something that is fairly popular? or if you can afford it the dark purple from the R33gtr is absolutely gorgeous!

i gotta say midnight purple is the best by far (especially at night), but not so great price wise, so i would go for a darker colour (black, gun metal grey, etc) for a 32/33 and for a S2 R33 a lighter colour (silver, white, etc).

with the yellow and green... probly isnt the best choice, you will love it for about a month then you will start sayin... "wtf was i thinkn?", and i agree with WazR32GTSt about the resale... my friend had a yellow supra not long ago and it was pretty tough to sell even with a great price (even though i personally thought the yellow looked great! :D ).

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
