drewr33, im trying to decide myself as well. atm i have red vht on my white 'line atm. although my rims are shadow chrome. does this paint come in bronze? i think of the 350z brembo style - bronze calipers with black logo. or else, black calipers with white logo. what you guys thinks?

let me know what colour you decide Duc - I am keen to repaint my R34 and S15 calipers - we could have a painting mod party at my place :D

I am also leaning toward bronze/gold with black or red writing ala Brembos

been thinking of repainting my calipers for ages Andrew. been leaning towards black but bronze would be nice - if that color is avaliable. yes ala brembo style are subtle but at the same time noticeable. thinking of this saturday pending on where they sell it and the weather.

boy there must be a lot of those Circlar wheels around - I have them and I know of at least 3 other guys with in just Adelaide .... FYI if you don't get yours taken back to bare metal, rust-proofed and repainted soon they will degrade beyond repair - a mate from ROH Wheels did mine for me, and said mine were months away from rust disintegration on the welds. I did dome "S" Skyline stickers to ove rthe centres and I think they look good :laugh:

Howdy nightcrawler, yep I remember when you told me that about twelve months ago! :unsure: Somehow having the wheels NDI'd kept falling to the bottom of the 'ways to spend $$ on the Nissan' list. Best look into that again before it bites me on the ass. Cheers! Mark

no worries buddy - just trying to spread the love :wave: .... plus I would hate you to be driving down the road and one of your wheels takes off past you because the weld broke :unsure:

I want to paint my calipers black, with the nissan writing in white, grey or just sand them back down to metal. I'm trying to go with what Mark's done, and have a neat, stock-not-over-the-top look,

The only problem is, there is no METALCAST in black. I was thinking of getting the primer (this is the shiny bit isn't it?) and then finding some kind of black paint to go over top.. or will the black paint just block it out... what do you guys think?

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
