i have a silver r33 gtst series 2. i reckon its the best colour..closely followed by white... and black last.

as tlai909 basically said... the lighter colours show the series 2 awesome shape alot better. i also chose silver (a light colour) over something dark so that ppl wont reverse into it in carparks etc. my friend has a dark green hsv manta and ppl reverse into it all the time probably because they just cant see it.

hey tgriffin are u thinking of buying a series 2? if u r then u should try and get one with sideskirts and the extra chin on the front spoiler which makes it look TOTALLY SICK!

so if you only want a black or white series 2.........then DEFINATELY go the white.. it looks heaps better and theres less chance someones going to run into it.

it depends on the kit to some extent. I reckon ALL the skyline colours are awesome.

White does look very sharp, but on a std series 1 with the small front bar, doesnt really look the best in my opinion.

Black looks MEAN! with any kit, but yes, black gets dirty like nothing else....

Silver is a wicked colour on ANY car. It wears dust nicely, and looks great.

Wine red, when in good condition, has an awesome gloss to it.

Gun grey, like mine!, wears dust extremely well, is quite subtle on the road (this can be good if you dont want too much attention!) But also has a toughness about it.

Those are the most common colours? theres also a bluish color yeah?

I originally wanted white, but when you go looking to buy, its not the colour that really sways you, its the condition of the car and its price. You cant turn down a good buy just coz its not the colour you want, especially when ALL the colours look wicked!! :)

GR33DyMANGO, white series 2 are nice, but a clean black series 2 looks bloody awesome!! but if its for a daily driver, then white is the better choice. VERY easy to find also!!

hey SLY33 do u have a series 1 or 2?

sorry to sound all gay... but the series 2 doesnt come in wine red(only the series 1 comes in the darker red ie wine red). the series 2 red is more a red red which is alot brighter. and the series 1 comes in gun grey which is darker aswell to the series 2 grey/silver... which i reckon looks better :) again.. apologies for the gaety of this paragraph SLY33! :lol:

I just put a deposit on a silver Skyline to be imported for me!! (they still have to look for it). It was for my mate who also put his deposit down on a WHITE one today.

And yep, me and my mate are both getting Series IIs. The front chin looks awesome, and so do the side skirts. If I don't get them, I'll try and get it sorted (the importer/dealer said he'd swap it with his current stock if possible).

Expect to get my Skyline in late Dec.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
