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!

    • Hey y'all, I have a completely stock 1991 R32 GTR, yesterday I took my car out and went for about a thirty minute drive. It was fine on the way there but when returning home I think the car might have gone into a limp mode. I was cruising in 5th gear around 130km/h, the hicas light came on and there was a significant loss of power. About a minute later I hear a thump, the car starts driving normal again and is fine the rest of the drive back. This is the second time its happened, same as now it was fine on the trip there. On the way back it had the hicas light on but that time I would feel the power going in and out before hearing the same thump and it being fine.  I have no idea idea what causing this, but if anyone has any ideas it would be great as a start chasing the cause of this. Also I can provide more details if needed. Thank you
    • When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.
    • Today in Skyline arts and crafts!! I’ve made some progress.    had to put extra notes in there so I don’t stuff it up 😂
    • This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.
