Nice work. Will look sweet at Auto Salon

I've been thinking of racing stripes for my car too, though I'm partial to the twin, pver the bonnet type. Had my graphic designer GF photochop some onto the car to get a look, I might get it done some day, though I'm weighing up getting them vinyled or sprayed when the car gets a full spray.

That looks so bad!..

Not a fan of that look. Needs to be a falcon Cobra for that combo. Maybe blue down the side would be better.

thanks for the comments guys, im happy with how they turned out, car doesnt quite look so boring now.

as for the F1 style mirrors, just something different really, there not the cheap fake carbon ones you get off ebay, there genuine carbon, i did have the stock ones on, but thought for autosalon id throw those back on again.

mines a dead stock super vr-4, except for a set of coilovers, and it handles great, and keeps up with 260RS'. :rofl:

the torque it puts out is unreal, feels like a small V8 rather than a twin turbo 6.

    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
