Note: not mine, just a pic I found while googling.... my car is black btw

mine has anodized blue, valve stems,caps,lugs,slotted brake rotors and calipers now.

i like red better but had a few blue items when i got the car from japan

mine looks very near that but white 5 spoke impul wheels

thinking of getting my calipers, cam cover, valley cover, and cam gear cover off for powdercoating.

I'm pertty sure that you won't be able to powder coat anything that is plastic, the heat need to set the powder coat will melt the plastic.

any idea what it would cost to powder coat rocker covers on an rb25 ?

Dohmar, Damo, message a member on these forums called "Craved" He's doing mine and the moment and may I say from what I've seen he does AWESOME work :D

yep i have read up on him a bit. how much did it cost you to post the covers?

That guy who did the 34 blog used "dupont vivid blue"..... doesn't look like it's going to be as easy as 'off the shelf'!

Anyone know how to buy from yahoo japan?

you can buy anodized colour paints in town now thats what I used last week, they handle pretty hi temps on short durations, rocker covers no problem.

brakes too , not racing , too hot

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
