Hey all, with all my cars im a big fan of spraying the calipers instead of leaving them the stock grey colour, but ive hit a snag, what colour calipers suite the burgundy colour skyline? nothing i can think of suits the rest of the car colour, id love to do bright red but im not sure that will sit well with the rest of the car being burgundy.

what do you guys think?

I reckon go the same colour as your car, would look nice. Because a lot of the times, a home job bright red calipers makes the car look cheap lol. See it on heaps of shit boxes on the road ;)

lol home jobs look cheap? no waiz!

this is the rear caliper on my old skyline that i painted at home

imo it looks fken good, but i cant do this red, the only reason this one was red is because the car was white

Go Black FTW. they still look good but not wanky. Black and then sand back the nissan lettering if you want to. plus black and burgundy go together good. only other colour i can thing that wouldnt look bad is a brembo style bronze gold colour

Lol, I'll take my words back :rolleyes: I do admit the quality of it looks awesome.

But I said what I said because I've seen a lot of home jobs xD

Did you take them off your car to spray them?

haha, thanks guys, sometimes i wish i had a white car so i can do the same color

heh, thats ok mate. no i didnt take them off the car, just covered the surrounding areas!

It looks good as considering you didn't take em off your car :laugh:

hehe, behind the caliper was origional color, cos couldnt get the can behind there, nor see so meh.

does anyone know the actual name of the brenbo gold color? its not a straight gold...

id prefer an in your face colour, i wanna do the brembo gold, with either red or black nissan on it, but i cant seem to get the actual colour name of the gold that brembo use...

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
