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).

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
