Cool. I'm going past Autobarn this morning so I'll check. What did you paint with it and how did it come out?

I saw some comments on the DupliColor site (US) which said it didn't work as well as it was supposed to. Other guys seemed rapt.

I did my callipers, came out AWESOME.

Metalcast base coat, which was a silver colour

Metalcast Blue Anodised paint.

The number of coats makes a big difference. I did two coats on my first calliper. On my next i think i did 4 or 5, and it came out a lot smoother, thicker, and shiney. The thinner 2-coat job looked more metallic and sparkley.

Oh righty then. Mirage is this stuff: http://www.dupli-color.com/products/mirage.html

Found out Autobarn in Tweed don't deal with Dupli Colour but Auto One does.

Mind you teh Metalcast looks kinda flash too. Might use "Smoke" colour on a set of rims.

Woz thinking about maybe rims and a few bit and pieces. Sorta decided Mirage rims might not be so good on a standard looking car though.

Would look like a rat with a gold tooth. Better suited to a show car. Currently thinking the Metalcast Smoke would be a good thing. Car is standard burgundy colour (whatever Nissan call it). Rims are white, which aint a good look on a dark red car.

Update: found out the Metalcast "Smoke" and the Mirage series of paints are not currently imported into Australia. The distributor has no plans to bring them in. CBF'ed basically. So I thought to meself "Fu(k you clowns" and went higher up the food chain. If anyone is interested in any of the Dupli-Color products that aren't available in Oz send me a PM.

      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
