looking to paint my calipers but looking for other colours than the standard. red, black, blue, orange/yellow, aluminium.

google searched and found this on a ford site:

(How about silver? Or a dark metallic grey (eg meteorite)? It would look classy without being overly obvious. You do not need to paint brakes with special paint even though some will tell you that you need high temp paint - you don't. If you're brakes ever get that hot, then the paint peeling is the last thing you will need to worry about - stopping being the first thing that will be on your mind!

So you could go any colour in the Holts duplicolour paint can range. One large can will do all four calipers twice. A coat of alloy wheel clear coat will help keep them nice and clean - you could use normal clear coat, but the alloy wheel clear coat is supposed to be more resistant to brake dust stains etc.)

Anyone sprayed theres with other paints?

I used Holts Duplicolor over a year ago and they still look schmick. I'll see if I can sort a few pics this afternoon after work.

Try searching SAU for a thread called "painting your calipers" or something like that. It was a three pager from 2004/05 with plenty of pics too.

dupicolor metalcast ....the red looks the goods!.....reflective look!

supercheap sells it!

I did mine in that stuff, Looks bloody awesome. I would've gone with the gold but they were sold out.

Did them in the same colour on my previous R33 & no peeling at all.

I used 3 coats of the septone aluminium brake caliper paint as a primer. 2-3 coats of the duplicolor stuff depending how dark you want the red to be.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
