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...

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
