I've been wanting to paint my brake calipers for a while now.

For standard brakes I've always liked red calipers with the white nissan text across the front of them but considering my car is red, I was thinking that Yellow or Gold might look good or maybe even Black.

Does any one have decent pictures or care to share some thoughts on the colour combinations stated above? Even other colours not mentioned for that matter, I would love to see/hear them.

Cheers.

personal opinion here: if you go gold, then it'll look like brembos (which they aren't) so to some people you'll look like a fake. yellow, is very eye catching, but to me yellow + red doesn't work. I'd go a darker colour. Safe would be satin black, but that may be a bit boring for you. Other suggestions would be a dark bronze, or a gunmetal grey, if you wanted to go really out of the box, go and find some midnight purple!

I did mine red and put the letters as white my cars black so the red on black looks good but not sure if you want red on red ? But here is what mine looks like any way {style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1382461958.317189.jpg

Nice job. Red calipers are nice I have to say.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
