My car is painted yellow and has a full white interior. Most of it is white leather with the roof etc done in white vinyl. The dash was sprayed with with white vinyl paint and the plastic around the dash is done in metalic silver.

All I can say is that even though it looks good (well I think it does) this car is pain to drive in full sunlight. The glare from the dash is so bad that without sunglasses you have a hard time seeing. I am getting a custom dash mat made up in grey to match the plastic which I hope will fix up the glare problem.

As soon as I get the car back this week from the shop i'll get some pics posted.

I've found that White Knight brand spray cans work very well. Start with Super Primer then your color choice then Instant Satin Clearcoat. The satin clearcoat gives a soft sheen finish instead of a high gloss. maxkhor White Night Squirt Metalic Grey would look nice in your car. knore Try matt black with either a matt clearcoat or the satin clearcoat.

Pic is window switch surround 50/50 standard and Metalic Grey with strip of satin clear dividing them satin was put straight on plastic (not a good idea) Brown color is photo error

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
