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.)

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.

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 :D

Cheers guys

Joey

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.

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

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!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
