Hello All!

[Ska]

Wow, looks awesome! How much it cost to do the brakes?

[Spectrix]

Aww shucks..

I will post a thread about caliper painting in the classifieds section when I get back from melbourne in a weeks time.

The cost for four calipers is $55, and four hubs $15

Silver 'nissan' lettering on calipers (where applicable) $10/pair. (You need existing raised cast lettering for this.. most skylines/200sx have it, some only the front brakes.)

Yeah i'm stoked with the caliper painting - the difference it makes to the overall look of the car is noticable, spectrix did a really good job too, spent heaps of time on it. He talks a bit though...

[ronin6]

Work looks topnotch:)

Spectrix did u only paint the caliper? or did u paint the raised part of where the wheel screws onto.. sorry duno the name? it looks pretty cool.. im curious weather u painted that part of just cleaned it real good....

Is that you come to me or me come to you? How long does it take and how long does it take to dry? Do you do clear over or not? What colours can you use?

I think it would be really easy to do, take rim off, cover disk, spray on, but I am just too lazy to get off my fat a$$ and do it, and it's only $70, bah that's nothin to me, just an extra day's work But I'd want the hubs the same colour as the calipers.

[Spectrix]

CBG- You're talking about the hubs, they are sanded, primed and painted silver.

Ska - there's a lot more to it than pulling the wheels of and spraying on some enamel. A first timer would spend 5-7 hours (plus $50 for materials) to get a result like Deans car.

Ok cool... when's the next class goin to be held... All ur WRX mates will think u have crossed over if they drive past and see a few skylines out the front instead of the WRX's heheeh

I too am interested in the next class.

Are we able to choose what colours we want to paint the hubs and calipers?

[Spectrix]

I hold a small workshops every couple of weekends or so. 2 or 3 cars.

Caliper paint colours I have here are Red, Yellow, Blue & Silver. 99% of people choose Red, it simply looks great on any car. This is what I recommend to most, as no one is ever dissapointed.

Others colours can be sourced if need be. Hubs can be painted colours too ($30/car).

EDIT - when I say workshop.. it's me working, and you guys talking

Cheers guys

[Lazy-Bastard]

what's the deal with the "workshops"?....is it like a monkey see monkey do thing, where you show/tell ppl what to do and they do it themselves, or do you do the work yourself?

[jaqule]

Hay joey looks like your onto a hot thing here , when is your next workshop would love to come over and get mine done , once I am down there and have the car ofcourse ( 2 weeks away ) but I think I am going to have to go yellow

[Ska]

Or how about coming down and doing a Gold Coast workshop, then I'll be able to do mine as well

[EVO Cam]

Hey Joey,

Good to see you on here champ!

Cheers Cam

[Spectrix]

Ahh lol, the workshops are usually me working and everyone else talking. Owners help out removing wheels etc but the tricky stuff is performed by myself.

There are a few GC people so I might come down one weekend.

Its handy if owners bring an extra jack with them on the day.

I also photograph everyones car, so most guys wash their cars & wheels before hand.

[Spectrix]

Hey cam.

Your cars still off the road hey.

I hadn't forgotten about you dude. By the time you have the GTR running I might have found some Brembo stencils for your calipers.

Hey Joey,

Good to see you on here champ!

Cheers Cam

Cool I will talk to the Gold Coast guys and see if we can organise a day that would be good for us all.

How big a group would you be prepared to deal with (i.e 5-6)?

And how much notice would you need?

Cheers Chris

[Ska]

Nexus,

Hows the weekend of the 20/21st sound, now that's two people, just need 2-3 more.

I have been informed that all up it is $90 for both calipers and hubs, which I would love to get as then they would stick out like dogs balls on my car cause of my open Mags

So anyone else here on the GC interested?

Also where would we have it, what's the car park at umart like Nex, big nuff for 4-5 Skylines?

Hopefully mine will be back on the road by then, if not then you can probably count me out , I will do my best though!

[MJ]

Hey im interested in this! They look awesome, if we can orgainse a GC group id be in.

Mine look shit atm, the person that put the wheels on my car decided upon himself to spray the nissan writing black.

[Ska]

And then there was 3 Hey Spectrix, how many people would you like?
