Some will have seen that I started a previous thread about Black colour cars. I was pretty set on getting one in black but thanks to some helpful advice and I also had a chance to see one in person, I have decided against it.

It would frustrate the hell out of me to keep clean.

So I've pretty much narrowed it down to one or two colours. However I can't see any of them in person, as I live in the country and I'm pretty confident no one has a V36 in my neck of the woods.

So once again if anyone has had any experience with the colour cars that I will attach a picture of please let me know. Or any advice in general will be great. It's for a 2009 & up V36 370GT Coupe SP.

post-134916-0-03576000-1403527293_thumb.jpg This is Slate Blue. I like the colour, however I'm not sure if it will show every little mark like the Black colour?

post-134916-0-37090100-1403527335_thumb.jpg This is Graphite Shadow (I think) I would think there wouldn't be too many dramas with this colour.

post-134916-0-66215600-1403527754_thumb.jpg This is normal silver I reckon. This is the colour I would normally pick, however I'm pretty sure seeing the colour in person and in the sunlight, it is a very light colour. Not as dark as the photo? I don't want it looking too light & washed out.

Any input would be great. It's the last thing I need to get sorted before I can order the beast :)

My ideal colour would be a Chrome like Silver but I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist.

Cheers,

Paul

graphite shadow and silver ftw...i personally have the silver and it's an awesome colour :)

Does the silver look really light, compared to other silver colour cars? It's really hard to tell looking at a rendered pic, compared to real life.

Graphite. Slate blue looks really elegant but it will be a bitch to maintain.

Yeah love the Slate blue. The getting dirty part doesn't worry me so much. It's the showing up of every little scratch & swirl mark, like the black shows that does me in. So I'm not sure if the Blue would be like that? So hard not seeing in person... That's what I need to know.

I've got the graphite, very easy to maintain. If it gets very dusty, ends up looking like it's silver

Love this :) big +1 My way of thinking.

If someone knows if the Slate Blue would be like black, please let me know. If it is, then it's a no brainer for me, Graphite all the way I reckon... Damn hard.

The silver is light...very similar to the R34 silver. A little lighter actually. PM me if you want a better picture to look at, ill send you a few.

Slate blue is not too bad but not my cup of tea at all. I think the graphite is the best of the lot. Couldn't find one for over 3 months and the silver one came up so I took it.

Graphite mate! Itll look boss with some nice black rims.... ughhhh nuff said

Yeah Graphite is looking pretty sweet at the moment. Glad you said about the black rims. That's what I was thinking, just wasn't sure if it would be a good look or not?

P.s why not white?

Seriously.... ;) Nah, sorry no offence to owners of the white. Just not my style. Mind you I have seen some great ones with blacked out rims and windows. Just not what I'm after for my 370GT Coupe.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
