OK, this is an unusual one. I'm going to aftermarket brakes, and I want to keep the original look as much as possible so will be ordering the calipers with no branding, and in black (I'm not sure who I'm going to be fooling). I want to print up some NISSAN stickers on heat resistant material so I can then put them on the calipers.

Any graphic designers out there who can supply me an artwork file I can give to the printers? I guess it's the classic all in caps NISSAN I'm looking for (as per what is on OEM R32 GTR calipers). I guess in a silver colour to match the aluminium finish.

If there is an easier way to do this or someone has been down this road, then please let me know.

Thanks.

Hey dude, i work with vinyl all day, my recommendation would be to have it cut in a mask and just spray paint it with a heat resistant spray as im sure calipers get pretty damn hot, and not many vinyls that i can think of will stand that kind of heat.

Cheers

Steve

Oh, OK. I was told by the brake guy they used stickers in some instances so assumed there was a product that would do the job. I'll follow up with him and see if I can get in direct contact with the sticker supplier.....

Thanks.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
