The californian stlye 2 tone paint job is just the new new 'in thing'.. it will be out just as quickly as chameleon paint did..

there's already HEAPS of 2 tone skylines out there..

be different ant paint a tiger with a half naked girl and thunder in the background on your bonnet..

holy crap... crazy arse coincidence but that is Jana in the passenger seat isn't it. I went to college with her in Canberra...

I remember seeing that picture on her facebook thing a few weeks ago

Edited by Baconer

LOL yeah that's her...

ex girlfriend now, things didn't work out between us but that's life ey...

Rhys just decided to use THAT photo for the photoshop bahaha

i don't take too many pictures of my car but i'll take a few at Salon lol

car's going into the shop within the next two weeks so i have that long to decide...

everyone from SAUWA is telling me to do the two tone thing... i'm thinking i might just stay with the bootlid, bonnet and leave the mirrors CF...

rims will go black with polished lip, interior is hopefully getting done too but with time and money comes patience isn't it?

i am NOT patient...

anyway, keep the ideas coming guys? i've also thought that if i don't do the roof i can always put vinyl over the top, if i paint it though it will only be $400 more... man so much to think about but like i said keep it coming!

Andrew :)

haha can't get over that coincidence...

two tone panda look is a bit over done but it does look good. Depending on your funds you could try a different 2 tone combo to stand out a bit (reverse panda, black/blue, black/red etc.). Post some pics of whatever you decide on.

I thought typical panda style was bonnet black, bumpers black (obviously this wont look to good) mirrors black, wing black and any side stickers black, I suppose you could make some.

For autosalon I feel this is abit boring as autosalon is all about BIG and beautiful or BLING BLING and 2 dollar 12 yr olds

That carbon painting technique, is interested. I might give it a go on my bonnet.

Post up some pics if you try it, Esp. in sunlight.

I was thinking it'd be alright for detail peices, valve covers for instance.

Sorry Andrew, that was the only decent photo I had of your car. The other one had no sides skirts and R33 rims...

couldnt you photoshop her out and put like hayden or jessica alba in there??? with a few cup sizes up..

  • 4 weeks later...

only thing i don't like about the ganador mirrors (which i only just found out recently) ...are they aren't actual carbon, but rather, carbon LOOK. Now that i know, i'm just gonna buy unpainted ganador mirrors and paint them black to go with the panda theme i'm goin for with my white 34. it's a shame u bought them brand new, otherwise i would have also suggested that u paint over them in black...

white bonnet, white roof, white boot (top only), black everywhere else.paint dish on rims gloss black and the spokes white. looks alright imo and i dont think ive seen it done yet... (might hav been done b4..not sure... memory like a goldfish)

    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
