hi Zilla, you may want to try again with the perspective positioning of the front bar, engine & rear wing.

The wheels are good if you Photoshlopped them on, but fine tune the gold overlay. Front Bar changed.

On the front bar, I selected the yellow, just using the magic wand, and then using Hue/Saturation to make it greyscale -

just used the saturation slider all the way to the left & click OK, with the eye dropper I took a colour sample of the front panel,

then used hue/saturation again, clicked the colourize box which matched the slight blue in the panels, click OK.

I then used Levels to get the right depth in colour.

as above, get a photo of the front bar you want on a similar angle to the car your trying to put it on, also, instead of the magic wand tool, use the pen tool, its far more accurate for selection, to colour the bar i suggest using multiple layers of the same image with different blending modes for each layer,

As above, use the hue and saturation to make it Black and white and then duplicate the layer a few times, set the Blending mode for each layer to something different till you get a colour that looks more like the rest of the car.

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
