Hey guys, ive seen quite a few different condition underbodys recently whilst trying to import a car. Recently I looked at one that looked to have slight silver paint on the undercarriage. I was told it was factory but looks quite different to some others ive seen. The car in question is a QX1 VII R34 GTR.

Here's a couple photos. It does have some black paint marks also but more so wanted to know why so much of it looks silver.

I’m no expert but it looks like they’ve sprayed it to cover rust or repairs. From factory there’s no way there would be overspray on the plastic wire covers as shown in the last photo. Looking closely I can see a little rust too.

    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
    • Everyone wants an ECU they can plug onto their engine, modified or not, and put of the box it just runs perfectly like a brand new modern engine straight off the production line. Too many people just don't understand things like the base maps are as you said, just to give a starting point, and then you need to spend time getting it right for your vehicle.   I wonder if the people wanting it are the same ones who'll just buy a chip for a "stage 2 tune" online and then wonder why their engine blew up...
    • Quite possible! And well worth checking out, as it will be more durable than paint
