what's happening guys, Ok before i start slapping a driveline in this cef i bought , i figure i better decide what colour i want it painted (easier to paint engine bay without an engine :) ) , it's currently pearl white but the paint has seen better days so whilst i'm sorting panels i might aswell paint the lot (near impossible to match pearl white so i might aswell do the whole car) , what i'm having trouble with is deciding on a colour to paint it , in the poll i've put the choices that spring to mind the most but feel free to suggest another colour , i'll add some pics to give y'all an idea where i'm headed with it (Note : it will have final konexxion kit and rims with dish of some sort :) )

lol tryhard softy :)

nah baby blue would look excellent..

honestly - the colour of the car REALLY depends on what wheels the car s sitting on... so - what rims are you sitting on??

also - - - LOL at how i call it a metallic sand and how kris calls it metallic olive..

nobody knows waht that colour is called haha

but it's bloody awesome..

the toyota metallic red is nice.. but again - something like a red would only look good with work emotion XD9 in white..

..just sayin..

sooo yeah - what wheels are you wearing?? cos that will help you find your answer easier

well to start off it'll be wearing the vs-kfs but that'll change because i want 18's all round , whatever the next set are , they'll be in chrome and dish for pose factor , i'm not a fan of glaringly bright colours and it must match the car imo , i reckon i'll even go out n buy some of the non-projector lights , i never liked them before but for some reason i'm really liking them atm , that colour on the porsche is nice but i'm pretty over silver/grey after owning a s2 r33 for like 3 years (in grey) , the purple of my other ceff is awesome in the sunlight but looks pretty average out of sunlight imo being the reason i'm not that keen on respraying another the same colour . the car that's sticking out to me the most atm is the pearl white one in the pics(pic attatched) and my own in the sunlight :) , ok to picture where i'm headed , think chrome dish, super low , fk kit , ultra clean style , i'm bored of the cable tied drift hack look :)

chocky: there's a blue ceff that gets about my way in the same colour with some weird kit and std crv steelies, would look good with the right rims ;)

haha in that case anything low key..

with all that aero and wheel visuals youll have... your fiocus should shift to the addage.. old money whispers.. so anything soft spoken is win..

face it. you have one of the most unique cool cars imagineable. youre gonna have weds kranze LXZ (yeah you are gonna get these.)

youre gonna have a sick bodykit... the paint should just be a statement to turn it down a bit...

my personal pick is

white with black pearl to make the white look even whiter

^^^are they veilside andrew V's??

or a china copy..

you have little to no hope of getting them if they're veilsides man..

and Jangles - well spotted.. that is pretty much the exact colour and wheels i suggested..

toff - end result will probably end up looking a bit like my car - except WAY better if you use Weds Kranze LXZ.

you'd be suprised what pearls result in colours to the naked eye..

for instance.. white paint with blue pearl:

Pearl white FTW.

Nissan QT1 - It has a nice silverish pearl to it.

Go crazy with clear coat - it will be niiiiice!

White generally "brings out" the features in the car.

Might cost you a kidney to paint though :)

      So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.

      Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?

      KISLOC2 line output convertor for subwoofer in Q50/V37

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.

      M35 Stagea intake suction pipe

      By Equilibrise · Posted

      Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
