Thinking about spray painting some parts in the interior of the skyline. Colour suggestions? The car is white, but I was thinking of a matt silver or something, don't want it to stand out too much.

one of my mates in england is currently working on converting his Motec ECU to fibreoptic, so all it has is one cable coming out of it carrying up to 256 different signals.

realistically he says he'll have 3 cables, one to the dash, one to the engine bay and another to boot/fuel delivery system. still... 3 optical cables < 11ty billion wire cables that can short out, get interference, start fires etc.

Once he's finished prototyping it, I'm so gonna get on that.

I sell fibre optic cables for a living. Good shit

got paid yest + christmas bonus.

just bought this:

http://www.massfloef...31e11511ec15160

EPA compliant 240z + 8.1L V8 FTMFW. Should make about 350rwkw on a streetable tune. Once the kit gets here I might look at a vortech supercharger kit and custom inlet for it. Suspension (IRS, arms etc) is coming out of the S14 I have sitting in the garage, so should make it handle like a muddabitch on rails.

bending the rules is so much fun.

RA to the muddaf*kkin D

how the f**k is it legal tho?

i'm guessing EPA compliant "stock" engine still won't = engineerable in a 240z chassis

Suspected vacuum leak, after boot, it won't idle under 4300 rpm, kinda scary...

On break now, just started her up, 2300 rpm idle and acc pedal isn't loose can't see anything obvious, will need someone to hear it to diagnose properly.

Man, r32 engine bay is smaller and crowder than r33!

[Mohsen]

on another note, im chatting to a girl that tried her hardest and got a 28% enter.....

would a vacuum leak cause the car to idle so high up? Most times a vacuum leak causes a hunting idle (around 800 - 1000rpm)

Dont know much about GTR engines so cant help
