So I'm pretty sure most have seen the Nismo edition R35 with the red striping that ads some flair and definition to lower areas of the car. Looks sharp in my opinion. A lot of R35 owners say that they do it with pinstripe tape if they don't want to shell out for an OEM kit. 

So my question is, has anybody tried or seen something similar on an R32 GTR?  That is, accent striping on the front lip, side skirts, and rear bumper. My imagination says it could work nicely but then again my imagination often betrays me. Throw up some pics if you got them. Might even fiddle around in a Forza livery editor or something!

Notice that the R35 has sharp edges at the bottom of the tupperware? R32s do not. Pinstriping down there on an R32 would look poxy. There's no "defined" place to put it.

There's a big difference between the more organic shapes of early 90s cars and the sharp edged, arbitrarily creased, multicoloured abominations that are made now.

I'd agree that on a factory 32 the non-angular areas would look odd, especially the rear. But there's some kit out there with more straight edges along the ground that might be able to swing it. 

I wouldn't go so far as to call the R35 Nismo an abomination haha

The 50th anniversary edition with that white skidmark down it's center maybe!

Well, if you're talking about this:

Don't worry, Ghosn gone, maybe Nissan can stage a come back, or go bankrupt.

Looks like someone copied the R8s homework

    • 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.
