My old 370, to give you an idea of the colour combo

2012-09-26144925.jpg

Cheers Yo-Yo. That's helped heaps mate :) I like The combo, wasn't sure if it would match. As you always want to do something to personalise your car, I didn't think I could do much in the way of the wheel colour.

Do you know the exact colour of the car? There are a few different shades of Graphite/Grey, which doesn't help.

Dark metallic Silver Paint code K57

it's lighter than the graphite shadow & darker than the silver.

It's a bit of a chameleon colour actually... some lights it looks gunmetal, other lights it's a bluish silver, sometimes purplish silver.

It was *almost* like having a new car at different times of the day :P

Bit like having a new lady on your arm each time, depending what colour they dye their hair ;)

The colour does look nice. This is what is making the decision so hard for me, as there are a few different grey colours that look almost identical. Also not seeing them in person, makes the task that much harderpost-134916-0-60679600-1403975823_thumb.jpg

This chart is all I have to really go on. Buggered if I can pick the difference between the Grey colours.

I'm hanging to get it sorted but since I'm importing, I have to get the colour choice right the first time round, as I'm sure Iron Chef won't give me a second bite at the cherry if I don't like the colour when it lands :) Also it doesn't help that I suck at making decisions sometimes. Damn I might as well go with the black again lol....

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
