So the question is what colour best represents the personality behind the car? As a designer I can say to all those that think Red goes faster, buy a F1 and get some advertising stickers on and say "Enzo is sleepin tight thinking how much money Malbro has raised on that red car" Yes the red is the advertising aggressive colour of choice. Just like the woman in red. But the 80?s are gone mannnnnnnn. So there is a bit of a mind bending going on when thinking what represents you as the driver, best. Yellow, green, black and so on. Take it from the movies. ?Allways bet on black? Snipes . Not bad. So is the attitude of the driver important. Hell yes!!! So what makes you feal that the people will stare. You paint it. Well we all know what the R stands for.

Now to technicality. Dark colour loose form and give total blended appearance of shape. So that is why fat people don?t wear stripes??.

Mass and volume is best defined by shadow and dynamics in the body line. To get that you need light and some definitive body. So why paint the skyline white. The answer is the what captures light and is cheaper choice for the manufacturer. Some engineering heating ratio principles apply but why bore you to death. That?s what climate control is for ha J Body kit helps but Skyline doesn?t need it.

But to stand out of the crowd you will think of yourself first. The car second. Money prefirst. Fixing scratches down the line third. And subjective ****ers making comments like, ?why paint the engineering miracle in a herbal tea drinking feminine issues lime green for **** sake. Even the old lemon didn?t deserve that treatment. Keep it clean kids!!!

      Interesting. My tuner said after the tune that my fuel economy would be better but it is the exact same from what I could tell even though my car was running rich before lol. How much do km do you reckon you get on a full tank of petrol on your commute?

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
