I was thinking that if I could afford to go all out on my car, I'd respray it in matte black. It'd give the car that "prototype" look, like you see in all the mags and stuff.

After that, I'd just need to get my car on the Nurburgring :blink:

just do it, dont be a wuss. it would look fat as, aslong as the car is quick with a tough looking kit, and then get some black vinyl stickers made up and put all over the car. so the only part that is glossy is your shopping list down the doors... get a big g/f gt wing, and a c/f bonnet, and some bronze volks, pure racing style....would look awesome. i wouldnt want to race anything that has gone to that much trouble to make it not stand out....

the r32 looks unreal, but the 180 looks like primer, it needs bigger rims and bolt on flares.

do it!

the trouble with fingerprints cannot be worse than the trouble black gloss has with showing dirt, can it??? mines black and it drives me crazy

Hi guys,

Dunno if you guys are still interested in matt/satin paint anymore but i've just come across these pics.

The skyline in the last 2 pics, i know for sure are satin finishes. Pretty sweet i reckon.

Cheers.

omg those 2 gtst's look SO HOT!

IMHO

Matte Black should be saved for circuit/drift cars. Also it only really suits certain chapes. The R34/R33??? NO WAY, R32/180SX??? HELL YES!!!

The R32 with the Work Emotions and the QLD 180SX look very tough in Matte.

I'd never have a road car in Matte Black but I would certinaly have a circuit ONLY car in Matte Black.

Go Gloss for the road.

I say go for it - however.....Your car will have to be gunbarrel straight or it will look ghetto. It will actually need to be done by someone pretty good on the gun to look smooth. And definitely satin, not matte.

Satin with carbon fibre details would look very stealth...

If I ever get to build a track HR31, it will definitely be satin black.

Imagine how f**king hard it'd be to scrub off bugs and shit off matt/satin finish!! Its hard enough in gloss.

On the plus side you might stealth your way thru radars an speed cameras :P (although mythbusters tried that and it didn't work).

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
