Hey guys n girls.

Well i'm not usually one for asking people questions about what to do to my own car, but this one has me a bit stumped. Recently I painted my R32 GTR purple with red pearl, the bit that says "SKYLINE" at the back has sort of blended in with the colour of the car.......I dunno, but I want to either get it to light up (read about doing it a while back on here) or paint it a colour to stand out.

What colour do you guys reckon would stand out on it? Some people have suggested yellow, light blue.

Also, while I've made this thread, might as well ask what sort of rims would go well with the colour. I bought 19inch rims for it, but to my dismay they didn't fit! I returned them to the person I bought them off, but am in the market for some more now, as the stock ones on this colour look terrible. I like 19s or 18s at the least. Then foglights are gonna go, i'll lower it, expose the FMIC and that would be all for looks.

Not sure on this one, any tips or ideas would be great!

Here are some crappy pics i took off my phone (car looks jacked of its ass coz the engine was out)

Thanks,

Ali.

Don't paint it... just get the GTR badge on the back.. nice and simple

I really can't see any colour except perhaps a metalic silver, even this is a long shot.. Go with my first idea..

Hmmm, might paint it chrome, silver or bronze with rims to match.

Didn't think of that, I reckon it would look awesome. At the moment i'm thinking chrome with chrome rims....

Probably won't leave it, dunno why lol.

Didn't paint it myself, got it done from a proper panelshop.

Also we've got all the badges, just haven't glued em back on yet...except for that diamond at the front, don't like it, so that stays off.

I've seen GTR badges on the front grill before...might do that. Or leave it.

Thanks for the responces guys.

Ali.

yeh i say bronze or gold, and i disagree with chrome rims, makes the car look like a show car!!!! in my view a GTR is a beast not a pony.... but thats my opinion.

Lots of people have told me that.

But I'm a fan of the bling.

LoL...if i can find some nice, non-chrome rims i'd be sure to get them though. ;)

Can anyone post the link to the DIY LED rear skyline logo, found it ages ago but cant seem to pick it up in search results.

Thanks

Same, had little luck searching myself.

looks wicked in purple... like the skyline logo the way it is ..... some 18 or 19 inch white mags would look sick.

Yeah white rims go well with purple.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
