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.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
