Chrome paint is pretty crap, even the expensive cans lose their lustre very quickly when exposed to ... anything really... you can't sand it back for a smoother finish because you take away the chrome-ness of it and you cant spray clear over the top either because it does the same.

This is my experience.

If you want stuff Chromed, bring it to me, I'll take it to the people who chrome stuff for our machines.

The Chrome paint is bollocks.

It's cheapish to chrome stuff properly....

What are you chroming??

BASS OUT

Not that it really matters for interior bits, but remember that chroming does add signifcant weight (and it can also blind you with its bling-bling looks) :)

LW.

that extra 500g of paint will really slow the car down :)

for just interior bits just use a can of $15 paint with some decent primer underneath i say davor

hows adele (the missus) by the way?

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
