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?

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
