Hey all

Im getting my front lip repaired and painted on my 33 GTR.

But i cant work out what colour to paint it?

Tossing up between, white, black (gloss, matt or semi gloss)

The car has black XD9s on it and adding a frount mount (shiney) soon.

Ideas?

I've gone Satin black rims, Satin black intercooler and Satin black engine bay on a white car and i love the result! Its a tough look without being overstated....

Just make sure your happy with the decision and not just going on others opinions..... :D

yer true mate...

i havent seen to many with white lips.... but if i went white lip i would get the black inserts that go in the bar around the indicators... the name of them alludes me now.. border items i think... but if i kept the black lip i wouldnt do it

Either way i think it will look good! I would weigh up what you want to do with the cooler though too, do you NEED shiny? Do you want to attract attention? A nice stealth cooler is probably better for less attention from the boys in blue but it really depends on the mods on your car as to whether that is a concern or not?

Dude if you want an "alternative" option which sort of blends with your options together and adds in some practicality also you could try something like what i got.

try a stoneguard finish, alot of the new cars have these for side skirts front and back lips etc etc, its like a mottled/wrinkly sort of finish.

I wanted mine in the flatt black as per OEM how they came from factory however dumbass repairer colour coded it back to gunmetal grey which actually looked awesome.

If you want some pics mate, i probs have some around somewhere after it got fixed up.

the stuff also protects against debree, stone chips etc etc hence 'stone guard' lol. and looks hot in the matt black finish.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
