Thanks mate .... yeah the Brembo look-alike was not actually what I was after, but you are right. Maybe I should do the "Nissan" red for shits and giggles.

The paint is VHT SP-736 Gold (I think they only have one gold colour). I have gold Gram Lights 57C rims, so the whole lot having a gold hue is kinda cool.

just a quick question ... had the slotted rotors fitted recently on my GTT and the mofos are already rusting up (surface rust) pretty badly... I realize this is normal, but I was wondering if there's any known safe remedy to slow down or prevent the rusting of the rotors ? Obviously the surface where the pads contact isn't rusty just the rest of it..

well since the area affected is the one not in contact, hardly any method to remove it as it is not getting 'rub' by pads to clear off the surface rust.

having your car parked outside overnight or if your garage is relatively humid, it may increase the speed of the surface rust building up...

Taxi_This, you got pm.

Group Buy 47 orders:

- Evil34 (payment cleared) - please confirm your pads

- Keeffy (waiting for payment to clear)

CLOSING THIS WEDNESDAY!

Quick update for those interested - finally put the rears in (you just have to bash the rotor very hard from the inside with the handbrake off) and ended up doing the "Nissan" red. Photos below.

Rotors are awesome! Thanks a bunch rs73.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
