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!

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
