Yeah it's so hard getting the bicycle out in the mornings and seeing my poor baby sitting there on 3 wheels, sulking, saying to me, "RESPECT, is this what you call RESPECT?!?" Then I sulk away on my 20 min ride to work :D

So hopefully now that it'll be going to Gav's it wont bother me so much, wont see it for a bit, but then I know it's going to be fixed next time i see it :)

It's the shiny mags I reckon, eyes to glitterfied by the chrome to notice the brakes :D

Sorry? Whats that Mr. Jelly Mags? :)

I painted my calipers and hubs gloss black and sanded the NISSAN lettering back to bare metal...

The dignified look... :D

maybe you need a ricier colour

A ricier colour? Nah.. I needed something to offset the ridiculous amount of blue lighting I have in my cabin... :D

It was meant as a good thing, I love chrome mags, reckon yours look awesome, but because they are a real eye catcher, the callipers become un-noticable, Bah anyway maybe i should get a sticker "TEAM CHEAPA$$!" :)

It's cool... Thanks for the compliment... I just took it as a great chance to have another go at your beaching... :D

strutto they arnt chrome mags are they? they looked more polished to me then chrome.

painted calipers will look rank on my wheels as the spokes split in 2 and you can see between them. My car is coming together really well now i just need to focus on the little things to give it that extra nice touch!

Hey guys go to www.modifymycar.com and you can play around with different wheels and ....... brake caliper colours :)

The hulk green looks wicked on a gun metal skyline, so I might have to steal your idea Ska :kick:

So you'll do it for four people, sweet! Still need me to order the green or do you want the part number (SP737) so you can order, I dont mind either way, just give us the word and I'll ring up my nearest autobarn and order it in? :)

If you want me to order, 2 will be enough for 4 hubs and 4 calipers right?

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
